CIBIL Score and its significance

A CIBIL score is a three-digit number ranging from 300 to 900, which represents an individual's creditworthiness based on their credit history. It plays a crucial role in lenders' assessment of the likelihood of loan repayment. A higher CIBIL score indicates good financial discipline and improves the chances of loan approval, often with better interest rates.
