No bank or NBFC specifies the minimum CIBIL Score required to get a loan. However, most lenders would prefer you to have a CIBIL Score of at least 700 and above. A credit score is a measure of your credit health. A high score reflects good credit health and increases your chances of getting your loan amount approved quickly.

Here are a few simple tips you can use to maintain a good CIBIL score:

• Pay your monthly installments on time to build a good track record
• Manage your credit card carefully, set payment reminders and limit your usage
• Choose longer loan tenure carefully, try to make part-prepayments when you can

Your credit score is based on your credit history. You cannot improve your score instantly. However, actions like timely repayment of loans, proper credit utilisation, checking CIBIL Health Report regularly to ensure that there are no errors can help improve your CIBIL Score over time.

Your CIBIL Score is a measure of your credit health. Lenders like banks and NBFCs check your credit score before approving you for any credit. Checking your CIBIL Score and report regularly can help you fix any errors and take necessary steps to improve your credit score for easy credit approval.

When you check your own CIBIL score, it is considered a “soft inquiry” and does not leave a negative impact on your credit score. However, if a lender or a credit card issuer requests CIBIL to check your credit report (usually when they are considering you for a loan or credit card), it is counted as a “hard inquiry”. Hard inquiries are recorded in the enquiry section of your credit report.
Multiple hard inquiries, if done over a relatively short period of time, demonstrate what is called “credit hungry behaviour” and may hurt your credit score. But a soft inquiry, at least once a year, is considered an important financial habit.

As you may be aware, your CIBIL score measures your creditworthiness. Your lender chooses to check your score for a several of reasons,including:

• To check your credit record and history
• To measure your capacity to repay the loan
• To review your credit balance and sense the risk level of your profile
• To identify if you meet the lender’s loan eligibility criteria
• To arrive at the loan amount and interest rate suitable for you

Therefore, your CIBIL score is an important tool to help you manage your financial health.

A low credit score becomes an obstacle for borrowers to avail desired loan amounts at a low-interest rate. However, users can purchase their CIBIL report. From your CIBIL report, you can check your CIBIL score whenever you want. For that, you have to follow some steps.
A CIBIL report contains your credit history as given by the financial institutions and banks. Also, you can get access to your CIBIL score and other financial behavior. To avail of your CIBIL report, a user needs to take a subscription. Credit rating agencies facilitate different subscription packages for users. Make a subscription request to the respective agency, and they will send you a mail.
Then, if you want to purchase your CIBIL report, you will have to download the mail from the agency. Then correctly fill the information in the form that came attached in the mail. You have to provide your basic KYC documents and a demand draft of the requested amount along with your form.
Users can visit their CIBIL report for any purpose they want, like checking their CIBIL score, financial status, etc. However, once the subscription period ends, the user won’t have access to this report and will need to renew their subscription.

Credit score, credit rating and credit report are often interchangeably used. However, they each have a different meaning.
A credit report outlines a detailed list of all the credit lines and payments done by the user. It will involve the following information:

• Personal data of the user
• A detailed list of closed and open loan accounts involving dept amounts of credit card
• Credit inquiry by user
• A public record of foreclosures, bankruptcies, judgment on civil suits, etc. Every credit report will contain a credit score.

A credit score is a three-digit number ranging from 300 to 900 and is contained in a credit report. A credit score is important because it proves a borrower's creditworthiness to all kinds of lenders. The score will go up and down depending on users' financial activities.
Credit rating is a quantified inspection of the creditworthiness of an applicant is referred to as credit rating. Any entity seeking to borrow a loan is liable to credit rating inspections, whether a person, a firm, a sovereign government, or state provincial authorities.
