Paying your EMIs and credit card bills on time is the fastest way to improve your CIBIL score. Even one missed payment can drop your score by 100+ points.
Keep your credit utilisation below 30% of your limit. High usage signals risk and can lower your score instantly.
Check your credit report regularly and fix errors like wrong dues or closed accounts showing active. Corrections can boost your score quickly.
Avoid applying for multiple loans or credit cards in a short time. Too many hard inquiries can reduce your score.
Keep old credit cards active. A longer credit history improves your score and builds trust with lenders.
Ask for a higher credit limit but don’t increase spending. This lowers your utilisation ratio and improves your score.
Use a mix of secured (home/car loans) and unsecured (credit cards) credit to show responsible financial behaviour.
Follow a 90-day plan: clear dues first, reduce usage next, and avoid new applications while monitoring your score.
Set up auto-payments, clear past defaults, and get a “No Dues Certificate” to ensure your report shows accurate status.
