In India, CIBIL score is a good measure of the financial credibility of any person. This score varies between 300 and 900 brands and it is used by banks and financial institutions in loans approvals, setting of interests and credit cards issues. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in 2025, made some significant changes to the CIBIL score system, which has made the computation of credit score system more open, safe, and efficient. These new rules are supposed to empower consumers, raise the financial awareness and make a loan process more fair2.
Updates Of The CIBIL Score And New Rules
In the 2025 new rules adopted, the Cibil score will now be updated after every 15 days thus helping the consumers in having an accurate realization on their financial behavior. In the past it would take months for the score to be updated resulting to a long delay in loan approval. Now, credit information will have to be reported by the banks and the financial institutions after every two weeks by which the borrowers will receive the quick benefits of paying back their loans.
Credit Report Access And Grievance Redressal System
Now each person will be able to obtain a free report on credit once a year where a person can check his/her financial history and modify possible errors. In addition, any error in the credit report of an individual will be compulsory to be corrected within thirty days. If banks or financial institutions fail to meet the deadline then they would be mandated to pay a penalty of ₹100 per day.
Clear Reasons For Loan Rejection And Safeguards
Now banks and NBFCs will have to tell its customer the reason behind the rejection of loan application. Formerly, a large number of consumers experienced rejections of loans with no clear reason. Along the new rules, the bank will be compelled to tell which bit in the credit report prompted the loan denial, and ways the customers can boost their rating.
Besides, if a customer is at the edge of being unable to pay loan installments, the bank will be forced to notify him beforehand so that he can pay in due time and be saving his credit score.
Conclusion
