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.

Impact of CIBIL score check

It is a common misconception that online CIBIL score check may impact one’s credit report adversely. Conducting an online CIBIL score check is considered a soft enquiry and has no bearing on the CIBIL score. When banks conduct a CIBIL score check, it is considered a hard inquiry and has a bearing on the CIBIL score. This is true only if several financial institutions check your CIBIL report within a short span of time. This may happen if you apply for several credit cards or loans in quick succession.
