Credit Score: A good credit score increases your chances of getting a loan and getting your application accepted. Your credit score is determined by your attitude towards repayment of bills.
Whenever you apply for a credit card or loan, the bank or loan institution first checks your credit score. The credit score shows whether the person applying for the loan will be able to repay the loan on time or not i.e. how much risk is there in giving the loan to that person. A good credit score increases your chances of getting a loan and getting your application accepted. Your credit score is determined by your attitude towards repayment of bills.
The CIBIL score ranges from 300 to 900. The closer your CIBIL score is to 900, the higher your chances of getting a loan or credit card. You have the free facility to check your credit score by visiting the CIBIL website.

These things affect the CIBIL score, this way you can keep the rating better
Payment history
Delay in payment or default on EMIs has a negative impact on your CIBIL score. If EMI and credit card payments are made on time, then it improves the credit score.
Credit utilization ratio
How much of the total credit you spend is your credit utilization ratio. Suppose your credit limit is 2 lakhs and you have spent 40 thousand then your credit utilization ratio becomes 20%. Your reliance on excessive spending ie credit is considered to be high, which gives a bad effect. Never allow your credit utilization ratio to exceed 30 percent.
Balanced credit
Maintain a balance between a secured loan (such as a car loan or home loan) and an unsecured loan (personal loan or credit card). This has a positive impact on your credit score.
