Credit Score in India
Understand credit scores in India, why lenders check them, and practical habits to build a healthier score over time.
Lenders use credit scores (often via bureaus like CIBIL and others) to judge repayment risk for loans and credit cards.
On-time payments, low credit utilisation, and fewer unnecessary hard enquiries generally support a healthier profile over time.
- Never miss EMI or card due dates
- Keep utilisation well below your limit
- Review your credit report for errors
- Don’t close oldest cards impulsively
