CIBIL score is a credit score of an individual. It scales the credit discipline of the person between 300 and 900. The higher the score, the better it is. Generally, a score above 750 is considered good where the chances of loan approval become higher. The score gives an overall indication of the individual’s creditworthiness and history. Also, the CIBIL report (which has the CIBIL score as a part) reveals whether the person has ever defaulted on any repayment in the past.
Apart from easy approval of the loans, the CIBIL score also helps the borrowers get cheaper loans. For instance, on home loans, State Bank of India (SBI) offers loan rates based on the credit score of the borrower. It offers regular home loan at 9.15 per cent for those having a CIBIL score above 750, 9.35 per cent to those having a score of 700-749, 9.45 per cent to those with 650-699 CIBIL score. Those having a CIBIL score of 550-649 can get the home loan at 9.65 per cent.
