Your CIBIL score is your credit score as determined by TransUnion CIBIL, a credit rating bureau. It is a 3-digit number, ranging from 300 to 900, and is based on the information in your credit report. One easy way to calculate your CIBIL score is to get it from TransUnion CIBIL itself by submitting your PAN card details, which serve as an identifier.

Applying for a loan after checking your CIBIL score
You are most likely to conduct a CIBIL check by PAN free of cost before applying for a loan. This is a good thing to do, as your eligibility partially hinges on your score. A score of below 700 indicates some financial hiccups in your credit repayment and experience. Thus, obtaining a loan may be difficult. A CIBIL score of 700 to 750 is good, especially for secured loans. Having a high credit score of 750 and above helps you quickly obtain an unsecured loan like a personal loan.
Another way to streamline your loan application further is to avail of funding via a pre-approved loan offer. One financial solution that comes with such an option is Bajaj Finserv's Personal Loan. It offers you financing up to Rs. 25 lakh at economical interest rates for a flexible tenor of up to 60 months. The Flexi loan facility offered in this loan helps you borrow from your sanction in parts and pay interest only on what's withdrawn.
