Imagine this: You apply for a personal loan or credit card thinking your income is stable, paperwork is clean — and yet, you receive a rejection email.
Confused? The silent culprit might be your CIBIL score.
At Vizzve Finance, we help you decode what your CIBIL score is trying to tell you — and how to fix it.
What is a CIBIL Score?
CIBIL Score is a 3-digit number ranging from 300 to 900 that represents your creditworthiness. It’s used by banks and NBFCs to assess whether you’re a risky borrower or a responsible one.
750 and above = Excellent
650–749 = Fair, but needs improvement
Below 650 = Risky zone 🚨
6 Common Reasons Why Your CIBIL Score Triggers Loan Rejection
1️⃣ Late or Missed EMI Payments
Payment delays negatively impact your score. Even one missed EMI can drop your score by 30–50 points.
2️⃣ High Credit Utilization
Are you using more than 30-40% of your credit card limit consistently? That’s a red flag for lenders.
3️⃣ Too Many Loan/Credit Applications
Each time you apply, lenders pull your credit report (called a “hard inquiry”). Multiple inquiries signal credit hunger and hurt your score.
4️⃣ No Credit History
Yes, having no credit history is also risky. Lenders can't judge your repayment behavior, so they often reject or limit first-time applicants.
5️⃣ Errors in Credit Report
Wrong loan closures, incorrect outstanding amounts, or someone else’s data on your report can unfairly pull down your score.
6️⃣ Co-signed or Guaranteed a Risky Loan
If a person you co-signed for defaults, your CIBIL score pays the price too.
How to Improve Your CIBIL Score (Vizzve Finance Tips)
✅ Pay EMIs and Credit Card Bills On Time
Use auto-pay features. Set reminders. Timely payment is the #1 credit score booster.
✅ Keep Credit Utilization Below 30%
If your card limit is ₹1,00,000, try not to use more than ₹30,000 regularly.
✅ Don’t Apply for Multiple Loans Together
Wait at least 3–6 months between applications to avoid credit hunger flags.
✅ Check Your CIBIL Report Regularly
Use CIBIL’s free annual report feature or credit apps to spot and fix errors quickly.
✅ Build Credit History with a Secured Card
Low CIBIL score? Get a secured credit card backed by an FD to start rebuilding credit history safely.
📉 Sample Impact: Missed EMI vs Timely Payment
| Action | Effect on CIBIL Score | Loan Approval Likelihood |
|---|---|---|
| Missed 1 EMI | -40 points | Lower |
| Paid on time for 6 months | +50–70 points | Higher |
| High credit usage (80%) | -30 points | Moderate |
| Usage under 30% + no defaults | + Consistency | High |
