Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited IN ASSOCIATION WITH DUN & BRADSTREET AND TRANSUNION [EMPOWERING YOU UNDERSTANDING YOUR CIBIL TRANSUNION SCORE What is the CIBIL TransUnion Score? The CIBIL TransUnion Score is a 3 digit numeric summary of your credit history. The Score is derived by using the details found in the “Accounts” and “Enquiries” sections on your Credit Information Report {CIR} and ranges from 300 to 900. The closer your Score is to 900, the more favourably your loan application will be viewed by a credit institution, The Score plays a critical rale in the loan approval process, What does my Score mean? {An individual's Credit Score provides a credit institution with an indication of the “probability of default” of the individual based on their credit history. What this means in simple English is that the Score tells a credit institution how likely you are to pay back a loan (should the credit institution choose to sanction your (oan) based on your past pattern of credit usage and loan repayment behaviour. The closer you are to 900, the more confidence the credit institution will have in your ability to repay the loan and hence, the better the chances of your application getting approved. What are the major factors that affect my Score? There are 4 major factors that affect your Score. These are described below: Late payments or defaults in the recent past: Your payment history has @ significant impact en your Score. Hence, if you have missed payments on any of your existing loans, over the last couple of years, your Score is likely to be negatively affected because it indicates that you are having trouble servicing your existing obligations. igh utilization of Credit Limits: While the balances on your toans will only reduce over time as payments are made, you must be diligent about making timely payments on your credit cards. While increased spending on your credit cards may not necessarily negatively affect your Score, an increase in the current balance on the card over time is an indication of an increased repayment burden and may negatively impact your Score. I's always prudent to not use too much credit Higher percentage of Credit Cards or Personal Loans (commonly known as Unsecured Loans] on your CIR: A higher ‘Concentration of home loans or auto loans {commonly known as Secured Loans is likely to be more favourable for your Score than a large number of unsecured loans. Although unsecured loans offer easy access to finance, it's also by far the most expensive form of credit. More the number of unsecured loans with high utilization, larger are the payments resulting from its high rate of interest. Seeking Excessive Credit: f you have made many applications for loans in a short period of time or have recently been sanctioned new credit facilities, a credit institution is likely to view your application with caution. This behavior of seeking excessive credit indicates that your debt burden is likely to, or has increased and you are less capable of honoring any additional debt, leading to @ marginal impact ‘on your Credit Score ‘What does it mean when my Score is “NA” or “NH ‘A Score of “NA” or "NH" is nat a bad thing at all. These Scores mean 1 of 3 things: a). Youdo not have a credit history or you donot have enough ofa credit history tobe scored, ie. you are new tothe credit system b)_ You have had no credit activity in the last couple of years cl You have all add-on credit cards and have no credit exposure It is important to note that while these Scores are not viewed negatively by a credit institution, some credit institutions’ credit policy prevents them from providing loans to an applicant with Scores of "NA" or “NH” [applicants with no credit track record]. Hence, you may have better chances applying for a loan elsewhere. Regi. Office: Hoechst House, 6th Floor, 193, Backbay Reclamation, Nariman Point, Mumbai 400 021.
