Credit Information Bureau India Limited (CIBIL) is India's first credit information company that maintains a centralized information repository on consumers and businesses regarding their credit history, based on the information shared by its member banks and financial institutions.

The credit history & repayment behaviour of a customer is translated into a number developed by CIBIL, called 'credit score'. It is an indicator of the credit-worthiness of a customer. It predicts the likelihood of a consumer defaulting on a payment. A borrower who is more financially disciplined will have a higher credit score. Higher the credit score, better are a customer's chances of availing credit from any financial institution. To know more visit: http://www.cibil.com/faqs.htm

By being regular and disciplined in making your payments and settling all outstanding charges against your name, you can improve your score. For more information, please visit: http://www.cibil.com/managecredit.htm

If you have missed a few payments due to any reason, we would urge you to make the payment as soon as you are able to, to avoid further levy of charges.
