After January 1, 2025, CIBIL scores will be updated after 15 days, not after every month. This makes the payments or defaults reflected in time and the borrowers such as Ritika who have had corrections in their loan status have a quicker access to credit.
Mandatory Rejection Notices
Lenders are now required to give explanations on the rejection of loans based on low CIBIL scores. When your score out of 300-900 scores you are denied, banks will give you the reasons through SMS or email and this will encourage transparency.
30-Day Error Correction
When such mistakes as the 680 score of Mohit because of the old information occur, then you have a 30-day period to challenge and correct the error before the loan is processed. This cushions the borrowers against false credit reports.
Free Annual Credit Report
Every individual can access one free CIBIL report yearly via cibil.com. This enables you to identify mistakes, monitor credit well-being and score better, without additional expenses.
Default Alerts Introduced
Banks have to inform you; either through SMS or email, prior to reporting missed payments. This will help you pay off debt and avoid negative credit scores, and foster financial savings.
Faster Dispute Resolution
Any complaints made on credit related issues have to be dealt with within 30 days or the banks are liable to a penalty of 100 rupees per day. This would mean rapid remedies, less time delays in loan applications and increased confidence.
CIBIL Score Impact
| Action | Score Range Impact | Outcome |

| High Credit Utilization | 600–750 | May lower score, higher rates |
