A credit score is a numerical representation of your creditworthiness, based on your credit history. It is used by lenders to assess your risk as a borrower and determine the interest rates and loan terms you qualify for. In India, there are four major credit bureaus that provide credit scores: CIBIL, Equifax, Experian, and CRIF High Mark.
It is important to check your credit score regularly to ensure that it is accurate and to identify any potential errors. You can check your credit score for free once a year from each of the four credit bureaus. You can also purchase your credit report from each of the credit bureaus for a fee.
