  • How can I check my CIBIL score?

Four credit information bureaus operate in India – Equifax, Experian, CRIF Highmark and Credit Information Bureau Limited (CIBIL). These credit bureaus collect information about borrowers, which is like a portrait defining various aspects such as borrower’s punctuality in the payment of their EMIs & credit card dues, their debt-to-income ratio, their debt burden, their fixed-obligation-to-income ratio and so on. Based on these parameters, these credit information bureaus prepare credit reports and assign credit scores to borrowers.  

Of these four credit information bureaus, TransUnion CIBIL is the most well-recognized and well-trusted. In fact, most lenders operating in India work with CIBIL to understand a potential borrower’s creditworthiness and repayment capacity. The credit rating given by CIBIL is known as CIBIL Score. 

Loan applicants must check their CIBIL score before applying for a loan so that they can take corrective measures in case their CIBIL score does not meet their lender’s qualifying criteria. The question however is: how does one check CIBIL score online? This brief guide answers this very question. So, read on. 

How can I check my CIBIL score?

Borrowers can check their CIBIL score online by either paying a small fee on the official website or using one of the unofficial websites that allow borrowers to check CIBIL for free. 

Method 1: Official and Reliable, but comes with a (small) price
