Your CIBIL score is a crucial number ranging from 300-900, that reflects your creditworthiness. A score above 700 is generally considered good. Lenders like banks use this score to assess your credit history and determine your eligibility for loans. A higher CIBIL score indicates a better credit history, making it easier to secure loans at favorable interest rates. A higher score indicates that an individual has been consistent and timely in terms of loan repayments (EMIs) and thus, such an individual is likely to continue a good payback track record.
