What is a credit score (cibil report) & what are the basics?

→ The credit score is calculated based on the data that is provided by the lending institutions (typically banks, NBFCs) to the bureaus (typically CRIF, Experian)

→ A credit score indicates your creditworthiness to potential lenders such as banks & mortgage lenders. It indicates how responsible you are likely to be in paying off your loans

→ Each credit score has a different scale: For example, CRIF has a range of 300-900 while Experian has a range of 300-850.
