Score Factors

What actually determines your CIBIL score

35%

Payment History

The single biggest factor. Even one missed EMI drops your score 50–100 points. Set auto-debit for every loan and credit card immediately.

✓ Fix: Auto-debit all accounts today
30%

Credit Utilisation

How much of your credit card limit you use. Above 50% = bad signal. Keep below 30% of limit. Below 10% is ideal.

✓ Fix: Pay card dues twice monthly
15%

Credit Age

Older accounts = better score. Never close your oldest credit card — even if unused. Age of credit history matters.

✓ Fix: Keep oldest card open
10%

Credit Mix

Having both secured (home, car) and unsecured (personal, credit card) loans shows good credit management.

✓ Fix: Add a secured loan if only cards
10%

New Enquiries

Each loan application = hard enquiry = -5 to -10 points. Multiple applications in 30 days = major red flag. Let ARIA match you first — one soft inquiry, no impact.

✓ Fix: Only apply via ARIA matching
⚠️

Report Errors (Check This!)

20% of CIBIL reports have errors — wrong accounts, settled loans still showing active, wrong default dates. These silently tank your score.

ARIA's 90-Day Plan

From 650 to 720+ in 90 days — here's exactly how

1
Day 1: Set auto-debit for every account
Payment history is 35% of your score. One missed EMI = -50 to -100 points. Log into NetBanking for every loan and credit card. Enable auto-debit from your salary account. Do this today — takes 20 minutes.
↑ +0 points immediately, prevents future drops ⏱ Day 1
2
Week 1: Check your free CIBIL report for errors
Go to cibil.com — free once a year. Look for: accounts you don't recognise, settled loans still showing "active", wrong EMI amounts, wrong personal information. Dispute all errors online. Takes 30–45 days to fix but adds 30–80 points.
↑ +30 to +80 points (if errors found) ⏱ Week 1
3
Month 1: Bring credit card utilisation below 30%
If your credit card limit is ₹1,00,000 — don't let the outstanding go above ₹30,000. Pay dues twice monthly instead of once. Request a credit limit increase (don't use the extra limit — higher limit + same spend = lower utilisation ratio).
↑ +20 to +40 points ⏱ Month 1
4
Month 2: Don't apply to any bank directly
Every bank application = hard enquiry = -5 to -10 points each. 3 applications in one month = -30 points. Let ARIA match you to the right lender first. One soft enquiry, zero impact. Then apply once to the right bank.
↑ Prevents -30 to -50 point drop ⏱ Month 2
5
Month 3: Check score again + Apply via ARIA
By month 3, most borrowers see 40–80 point improvement. Check your score again on cibil.com. If above 720, ARIA can now match you to SBI/HDFC/ICICI at 10.49–11.25%. Apply once to the right lender — approved.
↑ Total improvement: 40–80 points ⏱ Month 3

FAQ

CIBIL score questions

How do I check my CIBIL score for free?

Go to cibil.com — you get one free full report per year. For monthly monitoring, apps like BankBazaar, OneScore, and Paisabazaar show a soft-pull score for free. FLOCRED also checks your eligibility with a soft inquiry that doesn't affect your score.

How long does it take to improve CIBIL score?

With consistent EMI payments and low credit utilisation, most borrowers see 30–60 point improvement in 60–90 days. Dispute resolution for errors can add another 30–80 points in 30–45 days. Serious negative marks (settled accounts, defaults) take 2–3 years to fade.

Will checking my CIBIL score reduce it?

No. Self-checks are "soft inquiries" and have zero impact. Only when a bank or NBFC runs a formal check as part of a loan application (hard inquiry) does your score temporarily dip by 5–10 points.

My CIBIL score is 0 or -1 — what does it mean?

A score of 0 or -1 means you have no credit history at all. This is called NH (No History) or NA (Not Available). Banks treat this differently — some approve at higher rates, others decline. ARIA recommends starting with a secured credit card (₹10,000–₹20,000 FD backed) to build history.

Can I get a loan with 600 CIBIL score in Delhi NCR?

Yes, but only from NBFCs — HDB Financial (600+), Bajaj Finserv (660+), Tata Capital (680+). Rates will be 14–18%. ARIA strongly recommends spending 60–90 days on score improvement before applying — the difference in interest cost over 5 years can be ₹1–2 Lakh.
