Usually, how much CIBIL score is required for the approval of home loan applications is evident from the above chart. Millions and millions of people are applying for home loans; they need to comprehend the importance of credit score to save themselves from the high interest rate of the lenders.
Factors Affecting Cibil Score:
The mantra to maintain a good CIBIL Score is follow financial discipline. Missed payments and debt defaults lower the CIBIL Score. A bad credit can lead to rejection of your home loan plea. To keep the financial portfolio maintained and enhance CIBIL Score, stick to the following advises -
1. Fix the errors of the Credit Report There can be an error in your credit report. Check it and if you track any discrepancy, immediately bring this to the notice of the credit bureau.
2. Timely Payments To pay the outstanding installments on time, we can set the email and SMS alerts. For timely payment, we can also set up payment debited options in advance.
3. Never apply again and again for credit cards In case, if you have been rejected by any lender for any credit card, don keep applying again and again for the same. All these activities are considered while determining the credit score.
4. Don manage unsecured loans Generally, don go for the unsecured loans that are not supported by any collateral. This affects the CIBIL Score in a negative way.
5. Limit yourself while utilizing the credit limit Let say; your credit limit on a card is Rs 2 lakh. Utilize a portion of the credit limit; the entire utilization can cut down your credit score.
So, wake up to a reality, take some loan or pay the monthly installments on time. This will improve your credit score and you can avail home loans hassle-free to buy your own home.
