If your CIBIL score is shot from approximately 870+ to below 600, then this blog is definitely for you. Here we are going to discuss how can you increase your CIBIL Score and also we’ll understand CIBIL score work and its importance.
Understanding CIBIL Score.
- Your CIBIL score is updated on a monthly basis by your bank (every month end)
- Transaction of 2,00,000 to 5,00,000 every month in your savings account adds an extra 3 to 4 pts to your score.
- Getting a personal loan against gold or any property and repaying it on time every month improves your score by 6 pts. But a single cheque bounce will eat 15 pts, so be very careful.
- You’ll get a bonus of 3–4 pts for every cheque cleared successfully without bounce. It can be a cheque to pay your EMI or a cheque to your customer or partner or even to a family member.
- Your score will go down by 6 points every time you check it through a lender when applying for a credit card or loan. But when you take a paid membership through any credit score checking website then it won’t affect your score.
What If Your CIBIL Score Is Too Low?
But take my advice if you need a fast recovery and your credit score is too low:
List the daily maximum transactions (at least $25,000) between bank accounts. After two months of daily practice, your bank will make you a pre-approved loan offer in the third or fourth month. Absolutely flawless operation.
Use just 10% of your credit card limit each month. Preferred, pay your current obligations, such as credit card bills, four or five days ahead of schedule.
To raise your credit score, think about qualifying for a secured loan—a mortgage or gold—and making on-time payments. A few NBFCs might give you the loan even with a low CIBIL.
You must present your most recent three to six-month salary slip, your bank statement for the previous twelve months, and your most recent three years’ worth of IT returns in order to apply for a home loan. Any house loan must have these three conditions. Try seeking private finance if banks reject your application for a home loan; the interest rate would be around 2% higher yearly.
What Is A Good CIBIL Score?
Between 300 to 900 points is regarded as an excellent CIBIL score while some lenders could require a CIBIL score of 750 before they will approve your loan. Better credit scores mean you are credit-worthy and have a good track record of loan payback, so both a lower interest rate and a bigger loan amount will be available just for you.
