✅

35%Payment History

On-time EMI and credit card payments. One missed payment can drop your score 50–100 points.

How much of your credit limit you use. Keep below 30% — e.g., if limit is ₹1L, use under ₹30K.

📅

15%Credit Age

How long you've had credit accounts. Older accounts = better score. Don't close old cards.

🔀

10%Credit Mix

A mix of secured (home loan) and unsecured (personal loan, credit card) is better than only one type.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good CIBIL score for a personal loan?

750+ is considered excellent and qualifies you for the lowest interest rates. 700–749 is good — most banks will approve you. 650–699 is fair — NBFCs and fintech lenders will help. Below 650, fintech lenders like KreditBee, Fibe, and CASHe can still approve loans.

How is a CIBIL score calculated?

CIBIL scores range from 300–900 and are calculated based on: repayment history (35%), credit utilisation (30%), credit age (15%), credit mix (10%), and new enquiries (10%). Paying EMIs on time and keeping card usage below 30% are the two biggest levers.

How long does it take to improve a CIBIL score?

Minor improvements can happen in 1–3 months (e.g., reducing credit card utilisation). Significant improvement — 50–100 points — typically takes 6–12 months of consistent on-time payments and responsible credit behaviour.

Can I get a personal loan with a CIBIL score of 600?

Yes. Several lenders on GoCredit approve loans for CIBIL scores of 600 or lower, including MoneyView (600+), IIFL Finance (600+), KreditBee, Fibe, and CASHe (no minimum). Interest rates will be higher, but you can improve your score while repaying.

Does checking my CIBIL score hurt it?

No. Checking your own score is a "soft enquiry" and does not affect your CIBIL score. Only hard enquiries — when a lender checks your score after you apply — can slightly reduce it. GoCredit's eligibility check is a soft enquiry.
