ЁЯУЙ What Can Lower Your CIBIL Score?
Your CIBIL Score is an important part of your credit profile. It reflects information related to your credit history and repayment behaviour, which is why understanding the factors that may negatively affect it is important.
LetтАЩs understand some common reasons. ЁЯСЗ
ЁЯФ┤ 1. Late or Missed Payments
Missing an EMI, delaying a Credit Card payment, or not paying other credit obligations on time may negatively affect your credit profile.
тП░ Keeping track of payment due dates and making repayments on time is an important credit habit.
ЁЯФ╡ 2. Multiple Loan or Credit Applications
Applying for several loans or credit cards within a short period can result in multiple credit enquiries.
ЁЯУМ Before applying, consider whether the credit is genuinely required and whether the repayment obligation is manageable.
ЁЯЯв 3. High Credit Utilisation
Using a large portion of your available credit limit on a regular basis may not be viewed favourably in your credit profile.
ЁЯТ│ Responsible use of available credit is an important part of maintaining healthy credit habits.
ЁЯЯа 4. Outstanding Dues or Overdue Payments
Unpaid dues, overdue amounts or continued delays in repayment can negatively affect your credit profile.
тЪая╕П Keep track of your outstanding obligations and avoid allowing payments to remain overdue.
ЁЯЯг 5. Incorrect Information in Your Credit Report
Sometimes, your credit report may contain inaccurate, incomplete or unfamiliar information.
ЁЯУД Reviewing your credit report periodically can help you identify such issues. If you find an error, you can raise it with the relevant credit institution/lender through the applicable correction process.
ЁЯФ╡ 6. Limited Credit History or Closing Older Accounts
A short credit history provides less information about your past credit management. Closing an older credit account may also affect aspects of your credit profile, depending on the circumstances.
Before closing an existing credit account, understand its potential impact on your overall credit profile.
ЁЯТб REMEMBER
Your CIBIL Score does not depend on just one factor.
Repayment history, credit utilisation, credit enquiries, outstanding dues and the information reported in your credit profile can all be relevant.
ЁЯОп Good credit is built through consistent and responsible financial habits over time.
