Why Your Credit Score Matters

Your credit score (CIBIL score) is a three-digit number that reflects your financial credibility. Ranging from 300 to 900, it tells lenders how reliable you are when it comes to repaying debt.

A higher score (typically above 700) means better interest rates, faster approvals, and higher chances of loan eligibility.

At Loan Point, we guide our clients on improving their credit score before applying for a loan — because preparation is the key to success.

1. Pay Bills and EMIs on Time

Timely payments are the most significant factor in maintaining a strong credit profile. Set reminders or enable auto-debit for your EMIs and credit card bills. Even a single late payment can impact your score negatively.

2. Keep Credit Utilization Below 30%

If your credit limit is ₹1,00,000, try not to use more than ₹30,000. High utilization signals dependency on credit and can reduce your score. Maintaining a low ratio shows responsible spending habits.

3. Check and Correct Errors in Your Credit Report

Sometimes, credit bureaus report incorrect details — like closed accounts marked as active or wrong payment statuses. Regularly check your CIBIL report and dispute any errors immediately to keep your score accurate.

4. Avoid Multiple Loan Inquiries

Each time you apply for a loan, the lender performs a hard inquiry. Too many applications within a short time can lower your score. Instead, research and apply only where your eligibility is strong.

5. Maintain a Mix of Credit Types

A healthy balance of secured loans (like home or car loans) and unsecured credit (like personal loans) boosts your profile. It demonstrates your ability to manage different forms of credit responsibly.

6. Don’t Close Old Credit Accounts

Older credit accounts add to your credit history length, which positively affects your score. If they’re in good standing, keep them active with small, regular transactions.
