Your CIBIL score is one of the first filters lenders use. Small habits over 3–6 months can move you from a borderline profile to a bank-preferred customer.
If you are planning a home loan, business expansion, or personal loan in the next quarter, start improving your score now — approval and pricing both depend on it.
Pay on time, every time
EMIs and credit card minimums must never slip. Even one 30-day delay can stay on your report and hurt fresh applications.
Set standing instructions or reminders for due dates. Lenders weight recent repayment behaviour heavily when pricing your loan.
Keep credit utilisation low
Using more than 30% of your card limit regularly signals stress. Pay down balances before the statement date if possible.
- Dispute errors on your credit report promptly
- Avoid multiple loan enquiries in the same month
- Keep old accounts open if they have clean history

Very clear explanation — I was about to apply at three banks the same week. Will check CIBIL first and speak to Prarvi before submitting.

The document checklist for business loan saved us two round trips to the branch. Helpful for MSME owners in Gujarat.

Good read. Would love a follow-up on how balance transfer works with top-up in the same application.
