Find out if you are Credit Worthy
When applying for a credit card or a loan from a bank or an NBFC, having a higher credit score may entitle you to additional perks such as a larger loan amount, a reduced interest rate, and the ability to repay the loan over a longer period of time.

A credit score varies from 300 to 850. Always take steps to improve your credit score and get it closer to 860. With a higher credit score, you have a better chance of receiving a good deal on both loans and credit cards.

Factors That Impact Your Credit Score
- Pay your bills on time, every time. This doesn’t just include credit cards – late or missed payments on other accounts, such as cell phones, may be reported to the credit bureaus, which may impact your credit scores. If you’re having trouble paying a bill, contact the lender immediately. Don’t skip payments, even if you’re disputing a bill.
- Pay off your debts as quickly as you can.
- Keep your credit card balance well below the limit. A higher balance compared to your credit limit may impact your credit score.
