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.

Can you check active loans using your PAN?

Yes, you can use your PAN as an identifying detail when accessing your credit report, but PAN itself does not provide a list of your active loans.


Credit bureaus receive credit information from banks and financial institutions and compile it into your credit report. CIBIL states that its report contains details of active and inactive loan and credit card accounts.


The Income Tax Department's Verify PAN Status service has a different purpose. It lets you check whether your PAN is active and whether details such as your name and date of birth match the PAN database. It does not provide your loan account history.

How do you know whether a loan is still active?

Check the account status and current balance shown in your credit report.


An account marked as open or active indicates that the lender is reporting it as an active credit account. You should also review the outstanding balance and recent payment information.


Do not assume that an account is closed simply because you have completed your last EMI. Check whether the lender has updated the account status in your credit report.


CIBIL notes that closed loans can remain on a credit report as part of your credit history.

What if you find an unknown loan on your PAN?

If your credit report shows a loan that you did not apply for or recognise, first check the lender name and account details.


You should:

  1. Review the account details carefully.
  2. Contact the lender shown in the report.
  3. Ask the lender to investigate the account.
  4. Raise a dispute with the relevant credit bureau if the information is incorrect.
  5. Keep records of your complaint and supporting documents.
  6. Monitor your credit report for further unfamiliar activity.

CIBIL specifically advises consumers to look for unfamiliar enquiries and accounts and provides a dispute process for discrepancies.


Experian also recommends checking your credit report regularly to identify mistakes and safeguard against fraud.

How often should you check your credit report?

You can check your credit report periodically to monitor your loan accounts, repayment information and credit enquiries.


Regular checks can help you identify:

  • Incorrect loan balances
  • Loans that should have been closed
  • Unrecognised loan accounts
  • Unfamiliar credit enquiries
  • Incorrect repayment information
  • Personal information that needs correction

Checking your own credit report is different from a lender making a credit enquiry when you apply for credit.

Does checking your own credit report affect your CIBIL Score?

Checking your own credit report does not affect your CIBIL Score. When you access your own report, it is treated as a consumer-initiated check and is different from a lender's credit enquiry made when you apply for a loan or other credit facility.


You can therefore check your credit report regularly to monitor your credit information without worrying that the check itself will lower your score.


Reviewing your report can help you:

  • Check reported loans: Confirm that the loans and credit accounts listed belong to you.
  • Identify errors: Look for incorrect personal details, account information or repayment records.
  • Spot unauthorised credit: Identify loans or credit accounts that you do not recognise.
  • Monitor repayment history: Check whether your repayments are being reported correctly.
  • Track your credit profile: Understand changes in your credit information over time.

H

owever, repeatedly applying for new credit can result in lender-initiated enquiries, which are recorded separately from your own credit-report checks. Therefore, checking your own report is a useful part of regular credit monitoring.

What should you check after downloading your credit report?

Do not check only the number of active loans. Review the complete report.


Check:

  • Personal information
  • PAN and identity details
  • Active loan accounts
  • Closed loan accounts
  • Outstanding balances
  • Repayment history
  • Credit card accounts
  • Recent credit enquiries
  • Account ownership details
  • Any unfamiliar lender or account

CIBIL's report includes personal information, account information and enquiry information, making all three sections relevant when reviewing your credit history.

Why should you check active loans linked to your PAN?

Checking your active loans regularly can help you keep track of your outstanding financial commitments and identify incorrect or unauthorised accounts. Your credit report can also help you verify whether information reported by lenders is accurate.


You should check for:

  • Unrecognised loans: Identify accounts you did not apply for or authorise.
  • Incorrect outstanding amounts: Compare reported balances with your latest lender statement.
  • Loans marked incorrectly: Check whether loans you have repaid are still shown as active.
  • Unfamiliar credit enquiries: Identify recent loan applications or credit checks you do not recognise.
  • Repayment information: Check whether your EMI payments are being reported accurately.

If you find an unfamiliar loan or incorrect information, contact the lender shown in the report and raise a dispute with the relevant credit bureau. Regular monitoring can help you identify discrepancies and take corrective action promptly.

What are the different ways to check active loans on your PAN?

You can check active loans associated with your credit profile through your credit report and your existing financial records. These methods can help you identify loans, outstanding balances and credit accounts reported in your name.


  • Check your CIBIL report: Review the accounts section for active loans, lender names, outstanding balances and repayment details.
  • Check your Experian report: Review reported loan accounts and their current status to identify active or closed credit.
  • Review bank statements: Check for regular EMI deductions or loan-related transactions that can help you identify ongoing repayments.
  • Check loan account statements: If you know your lenders, review their loan statements to confirm the outstanding amount and repayment status.
  • Review recent credit enquiries: Check the enquiries section of your credit report for loan or credit applications that you do not recognise.

Using your credit report along with your financial records gives you a broader view of your existing borrowing.
