FAQ
Is this my real CIBIL score?
No — no website can show your real score without verifying your PAN with the credit bureau. This is an educational estimate using the same factors bureaus weigh: payment history (~35%), utilization (~30%), credit age (~15%), inquiries (~10%) and mix (~10%). Your official score is free once a year at cibil.com.
What is a good CIBIL score?
750+ is considered excellent — most banks approve loans smoothly at the best rates. 650-749 is decent (approval likely, rates may be slightly higher). 550-649 makes approval harder. Below 550, focus on rebuilding for 6-12 months before applying.
What hurts a credit score the most?
Late or missed payments — by far. A single 90+ day default can stay on your report for years. Second biggest: consistently using more than 30-50% of your card limit, which signals credit hunger.
How fast can I improve my score?
Meaningful movement takes 3-6 months of on-time payments and utilization below 30%. Avoid applying for new credit during this period — every application adds a hard inquiry that temporarily dips the score.
Does checking my own score lower it?
No. Checking your own score is a "soft inquiry" and never affects it. Only applications for new credit (hard inquiries by lenders) do.
