Payment history is 35% of your CIBIL score -- a single missed EMI can drop your score by 50-100 points and takes 12-24 months to recover. Credit utilisation (30% weight) is the fastest to fix -- pay down balances and your score improves in the next billing cycle. Hard inquiries (10% weight) each knock off 5-10 points and fade in 12 months. Never apply for multiple credit cards in 3 months -- each inquiry is a red flag.

Frequently asked questions

What factors affect my CIBIL score?▼
Payment history (35%): Timely payments are the most important factor. Credit utilisation (30%): Keep below 30%. Credit history length (15%): Older accounts help. Credit mix (10%): Having both secured (home loan) and unsecured (CC) credit helps. New credit inquiries (10%): Hard inquiries temporarily lower your score. Each missed payment can drop your score by 50-100 points.
How long does it take to improve CIBIL score?▼
Reducing utilisation: Immediate (next billing cycle). Recovering from a missed payment: 12-24 months of on-time payments. Recovering from a loan default: 3-7 years. Removing a hard inquiry effect: 12 months. Building score from scratch (no credit history): 12-18 months with a secured credit card. Consistency and patience are key -- there are no shortcuts.
What is a good CIBIL score in India?▼
750+ is considered excellent -- you get the best interest rates and instant approvals. 700-749 is good -- most banks approve with standard terms. 650-699 is fair -- approval possible but at higher interest rates. 600-649 is poor -- limited options, mostly NBFCs. Below 600 is very poor -- only secured loans or credit builder products available. Check your score free at CIBIL, Experian, or via banking apps.
