What Is a Credit Score?
A credit score is a numerical summary — typically ranging from 300 to 900 in India — that reflects your credit repayment behavior. Lenders use it, alongside other factors, to assess how likely you are to repay borrowed money on time.
Typical Credit Score Ranges
- 300–579 (Poor): May make it harder to get approved, or approval may come with higher interest rates.
- 580–669 (Fair): Below-average credit profile; some lenders may offer credit with conditions.
- 670–739 (Good): Generally considered a reasonable credit profile by most lenders.
- 740–799 (Very Good): A strong credit history that most lenders view favorably.
- 800–900 (Excellent): Reflects a consistently strong repayment history.
Exact ranges and their interpretation can vary slightly between credit bureaus and lenders.
What Affects Your Credit Score
- Payment history — paying EMIs and credit card bills on time
- Credit utilization — how much of your available credit limit you use
- Length of credit history — how long your credit accounts have been active
- Credit mix — a mix of secured and unsecured credit, where relevant
- Recent credit applications — too many in a short span can be viewed negatively
How to Check Your Actual Credit Score
To see your official credit score and full credit report, you can approach a licensed credit bureau directly, or check through your bank or credit card provider, many of whom offer free periodic access to registered customers.
