It becomes difficult for a person to avail any loan from Banks and leading NBFCs in case he has low CIBIL score. So, we will see how to improve CIBIL score and maintain credit health of a person.

Payment of EMI

Timely payment of EMI is very important. In case of delay in payment impacts CIBIL score badly. Hence it is essential that sufficient balance is maintained in the account from which EMI is going to be auto debited. One can put a reminder also and approach lender in case EMI is not deducted timely even when the account has sufficient balance.

Credit Card spending

Credit Card is again very high impact factor for CIBIL score. Hence credit card utilisation should be done wisely. One should try to use card and pay total amount due (TAD) by last date of payment after interest free period. Even if you feel that spending is more than your repayment capacity then transaction should be converted in to EMI. Never cross 80% of your spending limit because it dents your CIBIL score badly.

Regular default in payment of EMI

Payment of EMI should be regular. Even if you defaulted the payment, you must deposit it as soon as possible. Because if you default two or more EMI continuously, then your chance to avail any kind of loan is poor. Hence, never ever default loan.

Tenure of loan

Amount of EMI of any loan depends upon the amount of loan and tenure of loan. Hence if customer thinks that he may have some other liabilities or borrowings, then tenure of loan should be maximum so that loan EMI reduces considerably. It will also lower the chance of default in EMI payment.
