Introduction
Today, I have got for you an interesting post on CIBIL Score. Which will answer all your questions.
What is CIBIL Score?
How is CIBIL Score calculated?
Hope you are not making a mistake where your CIBIL Score might fall. I will answer all these questions in this Article
Whenever you visit a bank to apply for a loan, you have got to prove to the bank whether you will be able to pay within the given time with interest.
How will you prove that you will be able to pay within the given time with interest?
Just by speaking, it won't work. Banks need your CIBIL Score which is between 300-900 and as much of your Score is close to 900, the more you have a chance for your loan to be approved. And to get the loan at a lower interest rate. In fact, in our nation, more than 79% of loans have been given to those people whose CIBIL score is more than 750.
What should be the limit for the CIBIL score?
That means, an average Indian's target should be that His CIBIL Score should never fall below 750 Now let's talk about, how your CIBIL Score is formed.
We then approve on that basis And it is important because, under CIBIL, the loans, and obligations are termed regarding what are the current loans and obligations of the customer. So then it's easy to approve the loan.
Whenever in your entire lifetime, buy a Loan. For eg: A car Loan, Home Loan, Education Loan, or else Credit Card A credit card is also a Loan. it is considered the worst and the most expensive loan. whichever institution that you have bought it from It is the institution's responsibility that they share the information with CIBIL
Now,
Who is CIBIL?
CIBIL is an organization, Credit Information Bureau. They have only 1 work, to calculate the CIBIL Score of every person in this nation and to generate a Credit Report. Based on CIBIL Statements, every bank trusts it. If CIBIL Score has said that your core is 750+, then you can easily repay the loan. Bank will believe it, and your loan will be passed.
If your CIBIL Score is below 750 or is hovering around 300. Then no Bank will approve your loan and even If it is get's approved then it will be based on high interest. Now I will tell you while calculating the CIBIL Score.
What are the things that CIBIL pays attention to you?
1st thing is your Payment History. If you have taken a lot of loans in the past and you have re-paid all of them on time every month. Then your Credit Score will improve.
But If you missed 1-2 months of EMIs, then it will lower your score. You have to try and pay your loan on time so that your CIBIL Score doesn't impact negatively. While calculating the score, 30% weightage is given on your payment history.
After that comes Credit Exposure, which means how much credit have you used? For eg: You have been provided with a 1 Lakh Credit Limit. and you have utilized INR 80,000/- from that. Then your Credit Utilization Ratio becomes 80%, which will lower your CIBIL Score. Because this proves that you are Credit hungry. You need money and there is a possibility that we applied for the new loan, then you won't be able to re-pay that. So one Safe Utilization Credit Ratio is 30%.
Whatever is your limit, you can use 30% of that. And your Score should not fall lower. Credit Exposure is given 25% weightage, whenever your CIBIL Score is calculated. Another one is Credit Type and Duration, which can also be called Credit Mix This is also given 25% weightage, whenever your CIBIL Score is calculated.
It tells you which loans,
- That you have used in the past?
- How many loans have you used?
- How did you re-pay them?
Let's assume, that Unsecured Loans are more and the Secured Loans are less, that means your CIBIL Score is going to fall. Your effort should be that certain loans should be Secured and certain should be Unsecured.
So that you can maintain a Healthy Credit Mix and CIBIL should believe that you can handle your loans nicely and will be re-paying on time.
The 4th factor is Multiple Inquiries & few other factors as well. They get a 20% weightage, whenever your score is calculated. Multiple Enquiries means whenever you are not applying for a loan but are enquiring about the loan at the bank.
That inquiry's information also reaches CIBIL, and CIBIL also gets to know that in the past 1 year, How many times have you enquired about the loan. Hence, If you have sent a lot of inquiries, then your CIBIL score might reduce.
Like this, 30%, 25%, and 20%. All these 4 weights are considered, and your CIBIL Score is calculated. As I have told you, If it is more than 750, then you are in a Safe Zone.
But If you are below 750, then you have to think about it. And If your CIBIL Score is falling down, and If you want to know
How to improve your CIBIL Score?
If you want a home loan or car loan, if you apply for a credit card the first thing which will be checked is your CIBIL score. It is good when the CIBIL score is more and bad when it is less. The CIBIL stands for Credit Information Bureau India Limited. Cibil score is between 300 to 900. I have said greater the Civil score is good so generally, a 740 + cibil score is good and if you have an 800 + CIBIL score then you have a high chance of loan approval. If you are using a credit card for 5 years or 4 years and comparatively you make a card
If you have less than 800 or 740 CIBIL scores then what to do?
Conclusion
Jai Hind! Jai Bharat.
