The Bands

What Each Score Band Means

300–549 · Poor

Approvals are very hard. Most lenders reject or offer only secured products. Focus on clearing dues and building a clean repayment record.

550–649 · Fair

Some lenders may approve, but at high interest rates and lower limits. Improving even 50 points opens far better offers.

650–699 · Good

You'll get approved by most lenders at average rates. A push to 750+ unlocks premium cards and the lowest interest.

700–749 · Very Good

Strong profile. You qualify for good rates and most cards. Lenders see you as low risk.

750–799 · Excellent

You get the best rates, high limits and quick approvals. Pre-approved offers start coming to you.

800–900 · Exceptional

Top tier. Lenders compete for you with their lowest rates, premium cards and instant approvals.

How credit score ranges work in India

All four major bureaus — CIBIL (TransUnion), Experian, Equifax and CRIF High Mark — use a 300 to 900 scale. The higher your number, the lower the risk you represent to a lender, and the better the terms you're offered.

There's no single "pass mark," but most lenders treat 750 and above as the threshold for their best offers. Between 650 and 749 you'll usually still get approved, just not at the sharpest rates. Below 650, approvals get harder and rates climb steeply.

Why your exact score matters

The difference between a 690 and a 760 score can mean a personal loan that's 2–4% cheaper. On a ₹5 lakh loan over 5 years, that's tens of thousands of rupees saved. It's worth knowing precisely where you stand before you apply — use our free score check.
