In Summary
Your PAN helps credit bureaus identify credit accounts reported in your name. You can check your credit report to review active and closed loans, outstanding balances and recent credit enquiries.
- CIBIL reports include details of active and inactive loan and credit card accounts.
- Your credit report can show the lender, loan type, account details and current outstanding balance.
- You can use CIBIL or Experian to access your credit report.
- Check the Accounts section to identify active loans.
- Review the lender name, account status, outstanding amount and repayment history.
- Check the Enquiries section for recent loan or credit card applications you do not recognise.
- Report unfamiliar accounts or enquiries to the relevant lender and credit bureau.
- Checking your PAN status on the Income Tax portal is different from checking loans linked to your PAN.
Regularly reviewing your credit report can help you identify incorrect information and take action if you find an account you did not open.
