What is CIBIL score?

Credit Information Bureau (India) Ltd, better known as CIBIL, is one of the four leading credit information companies in India. Based on data procured from banks and financial institutions across the country, CIBIL prepares a CIBIL score for everyone with a banking history. Since this score provides banks with an insight into a borrower’s financial behavior and forecasts the ‘probability of defaults’, banks use it as a key benchmark to ascertain a borrower’s creditworthiness.

Conducting an online CIBIL score check is considered a soft enquiry and has no bearing on the CIBIL score.
