EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT CIBIL
Less Than 750
Above 800
750 To 800

negativity
Never increase your Credit Card debt.
An increased CC spend reduces your
score proportionately

700 To 750
650 To 700 Less than 650
Make sure your credit basket is a
uniform mix of Home Loans, Personal
Loans and CC spend. Too much of only
CC spend hampers your score
Seek new credit only when you have
paid off some old credit because
paying off old credit increases your
score
Even if you do not use your CC
regularly do not close it. Unused CCs
imply that you do not need credit
Make sure payments for your Joint
Accounts are timely because they too
affect your score
DID YOU KNOW?You Can Bargain With Banks and NBFCs If You
Have A Good Score. For Example, If You Have
A Score of 800+ , You Can Get A Lower
Interest Rate Than A Score of 750+
