The CIBIL Score plays a
critical role in the loan application process. After an applicant fills out the
application form and hands it over to the lender, the lender first checks the
CIBIL Score and Report of the applicant. If the CIBIL Score is low, the lender
may not even consider the application further and reject it at that point. If
the CIBIL Score is high, the lender will look into the application and consider
other details to determine if the applicant is credit-worthy. The CIBIL Score
works as a first impression for the lender, the higher the score, the better
are your chances of the loan being reviewed and approved. The decision to lend
is solely dependent on the lender and CIBIL does not in any manner decide if
the loan/credit card should be sanctioned or not.
CIBIL Score is a digit numeric summary of your
credit history, derived by using details found in the ‘Accounts’ and
‘Enquiries’ sections on your CIBIL Report and ranges from 300 to 900. The
closer your score is to 900, the higher are the chances of your loan
application getting approved. It is based on 36 months of your credit history
