Can I check my CIBIL score by PAN card?

Yes, you can check your CIBIL score using your PAN card. The PAN card serves as a unique identifier and is associated with all your financial and bank accounts, making it easier for credit bureaus to locate and authenticate your credit information. When you use your PAN card number to view your CIBIL score, it is solely used to access and verify your credit details.

If you do not have a PAN card, you can still request your CIBIL score using the identity proof number mentioned on your passport, voter ID, or driver’s license.

If you do not have a PAN card, you can still request your credit score check using the identity proof number mentioned on your passport, voter ID, or driver’s license.
