The most important factor of CIBIL Score is you need to keep making all payments on time. If you make payments after due date, it is going to affect your score card negative. If you are manually paying Loan EMIs, Opt for ECS. So, can your all EMIs will be deducted from your Bank Account Directly. No need to go to bank and pay them personally, let bank do your work.

2. Think Twice before taking Loans
There are two kinds of Loan, Unsecured and Secured Loan. Secured Loans, i.e Home Loan and Education loan, is beneficial to banks and they are always ready to give you Home Loans, why? Because if you don’t pay your loan, they will sell it out and get their money easily, Real Estate always save you. So, its quite Low Risk Loan for Banks, but Unsecured Loans like Car Loan, Credit Cards, Personal Loan are high risk loan to Banks, quite risky to land money to someone for vehicle, if they don’t pay, many times they don’t even get their money back by selling vehicle.
So, go for 80% Secured loan and 20 % Unsecured loan.
3. Don’t Get So Many Credit Cards
No Doubt it has so many benefits but Don’t take too many credit cards. Some people show behavior like opt all credit cards which are available. No, Don’t Take it, it is only going to benefit Banks only. If you need, one credit card is more then sufficient. Or if you need more then 2 or 3 is more then enough i guess. For salaries person with 4 member family, 1 credit card is enough, for more, 2 or max to max 3.
More credit card will show Credit Hungry behavior to banks, that’s not good for CIBIL Score.
4. Use Credit Card Smartly
Check your Credit card payment date and Use CC wisely. Yes, Make All Credit card bills paid on time, Don’t buy useless things via CC, use it as less as much as possible.
5. Show your Worth
If you have CIBIL Score more than 700, you are 80% more eligible to get Loans. One of my friends who wants 30Lac home loan was rejected by bank as his CIBIL Score was <600. So, Show your worth, why you are important to bank. Most of banks nowadays use CIBIL Score to approve loans.
