If your credit score has not updated after loan closure, your lender may not have reported it yet, or the bureau may have rejected the data. Since 1 July 2026, lenders report changes weekly, so a closure should usually reach the bureaus within a couple of weeks. If it still shows open after that, you can raise a complaint with clear timelines.<\/p>\n

How soon should a closed loan show on your credit report?<\/h2>\n

The Reserve Bank of India moved lenders from fortnightly to weekly reporting, according to its December 2025 press release<\/a>. Under the RBI\u2019s amendment directions for commercial banks<\/a>, in force from 1 July 2026, lenders report data as on the 9th, 16th, 23rd and last day of each month.<\/p>\n

Accounts where your relationship with the lender has ended are part of these weekly updates. Weekly data is due within 4 calendar days of each date, and the month-end full file by the 5th of the next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

After that, the bureau has to process the file, so your report may take a few more days to change.<\/p>\n

Why has your credit score not updated after loan closure?<\/h2>\n

Most causes can be fixed once you know which one applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Possible reason<\/th>\nWhat to check<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
The next reporting date has not passed<\/td>\nUse the table above to see when your lender should report<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The bureau rejected the lender\u2019s data<\/td>\nAsk your lender whether its submission was accepted<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A small balance is still open<\/td>\nCheck for unpaid charges, interest or a last EMI that bounced<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You checked a different bureau<\/td>\nLenders may report to more than one bureau, so compare reports<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The closure is reported but your score barely moved<\/td>\nClosing a loan does not always raise a score<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

On rejected data, the RBI\u2019s amendment directions for credit bureaus<\/a> require a bureau to share rejection reports with the lender within 3 calendar days. The lender must fix and resubmit the data before or with its next reporting date. Learn how the four credit bureaus in India differ<\/a>.<\/p>\n
