If you want a pnb cibil score check, the first thing to know is that your CIBIL Score belongs to you, not to any one bank. This guide explains in general how anyone can check it, including customers of a public sector bank. We did not find an official bank page that sets out a bank specific route, so we do not describe one.<\/p>\n

How does a pnb cibil score check work in general?<\/h2>\n

CIBIL is a credit information company. It holds your credit report and calculates your score from the loan and card data that lenders share. Because of that, you can check your score directly with CIBIL, whichever bank you use.<\/p>\n

According to CIBIL<\/a>, you can check your score through the cibil.com website and the CIBIL mobile app. The same page adds that some banks and UPI platforms offer free CIBIL Score checks to their customers. Whether your own bank offers this, and how, is something to confirm through that bank\u2019s current official channels. We have not described any bank\u2019s procedure here.<\/p>\n

Is a CIBIL score check free?<\/h2>\n

CIBIL says it provides one CIBIL Score and Report without any charge once a year. You can read this on its free score and report page<\/a>. If you want to see your score more often, a paid plan is needed.<\/p>\n\n
Question<\/th>What CIBIL says<\/th><\/tr>\n
Free access<\/td>One score and report once a year<\/td><\/tr>\n
More frequent access<\/td>Needs a paid plan<\/td><\/tr>\n
Effect of checking<\/td>Checking your own score does not impact it<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Does checking your own score lower it?<\/h2>\n

No. CIBIL describes a check you make on your own score as a soft enquiry and says soft enquiries do not have an effect. Its free score page<\/a> also says that checking your own credit score does not impact it.<\/p>\n

This is different from a lender pulling your report when you apply for a loan or card. CIBIL notes that multiple enquiries in a short period may impact your score. So check as often as you like within your access plan, but avoid applying for several loans or cards in quick succession.<\/p>\n

What steps should you follow for a safe check?<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Go to the official CIBIL website or app. Type the address yourself rather than clicking a link in a message.<\/li>\n
  2. Create an account or log in, then choose the free option if you have not used it this year.<\/li>\n
  3. Enter your details exactly as they appear on your identity documents.<\/li>\n
  4. Read the score and the full report, not only the number.<\/li>\n
  5. Note any account you do not recognise or any wrong status.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Never share your OTP, card number or password with a caller who claims to help with your score. Report fraud through cybercrime.gov.in<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    What should you read in the report?<\/h2>\n

    CIBIL names five factors: payment history, credit utilisation, length of credit history, credit mix and new credit. When you open the report, look for late payment marks, high card use against the limit and recent enquiries. These show where your score may be held back.<\/p>\n

    Illustrative example: reading a report<\/h2>\n

    This is an illustrative example only. Suppose a report shows a card with a Rs 50,000 limit and a Rs 45,000 balance, and two EMIs marked as paid late. The high use of the limit and the late marks are the first things to work on. Paying EMIs on time each month and bringing the card balance down are the steps that match the factors CIBIL lists. Our guide on how to improve your credit score<\/a> covers this in more detail, and our post on the difference between CIBIL, Experian, CRIF and Equifax<\/a> explains why other apps may show other numbers.<\/p>\n

    What should you confirm with your own bank?<\/h2>\n
