What Is the Role of CIBIL Score in Getting a Home Loan?

If you’re planning on taking a home loan, you must be looking for ways to get loan approval in the first go. While different lenders have different ways to assess your loan candidature, you should know that your CIBIL score plays a crucial role in getting your application approved. Wondering how? Check out the importance of the CIBIL score for home loan below.

What is a CIBIL Score?

The Credit Information Bureau India Limited (CIBIL) is the most esteemed credit information company licensed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). CIBIL holds the following credit information for millions of individuals and enterprises:

  • Credit history: The record of your repayment towards a loan or a credit card.
  • Credit report or CIBIL report: The exhaustive record of your credit histories for multiple sources like lenders, credit card companies, and government agencies.
  • CIBIL Score: A numerical value calculated based on all your credit information to date. It is a 3-digit number between 300 to 900 that summarises your credit history, credit rating, and credit report. Besides, your creditworthiness is based on your CIBIL score range.
