CIBIL score is a 3-digit number that represents your creditworthiness, i.e., how suitable you are to receive new credit from financial institutions. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has authorised CIBIL (Credit Information Bureau India Limited) as the credit bureau for generating a person’s credit score based on their past financial behaviour. This score can range between 300 to 900 and the closer the score is to 900, the better. Here’s how you can check your CIBIL score online for free:
