How to improve your credit score

Your credit score, also known as the CIBIL score is the measure of your creditworthiness. It determines your eligibility for loans and credit cards.

It is very important to have a good credit score to be eligible for loans and credit cards. Here are 7 ways to improve your CIBIL score.

Always pay your bills on time: Late payments negatively impact your credit score. Make sure to pay your bills, including credit card bills, on time.

Maintain a low credit utilization ratio: Your credit utilization ratio is the percentage of credit you are using to your total credit limit. Try to maintain a ratio of below 30%.

Keep a check on your credit report: regularly check your credit report for any errors. If you find any errors, report them to the credit bureau immediately.

Avoid applying for multiple loans or credit cards: Applying for too many loans or credit cards at the same time can negatively impact your credit score.

Avoid closing old credit accounts: Your credit score is based on the length of your credit history. Closing them can negatively impact your credit score.

Settle any outstanding debts: If you have any outstanding debts, make sure to settle them as soon as possible as it impacts your credit score.
