What is CIBIL Microfinance Score and Report?

Your CIBIL Microfinance Score is a 3-digit numeric summary of your credit history that indicates your creditworthiness and demonstrates your ability to repay a loan. CIBIL Microfinance Score ranges from 300 to 900. The closer your score is to 900, the higher are the chances of your loan application getting approved.

Your CIBIL Microfinance Report (also known as MFI CIR i.e. credit information report) is a record of borrowers financial history compiled from information received from banks/financial institutions. It includes credit enquiries, open and closed credit accounts, personal & employment information and payment history across Microfinance loans.

What is in your CIBIL Microfinance Score & Report?

1.Why can’t I use my mobile number for enrollment?

The mobile number you are trying to use has been flagged as deactivated, fraudulent, or high-risk by the Department of Telecommunications. As per RBI guidelines, TransUnion CIBIL is required to block any user activity involving such mobile numbers to enhance fraud risk monitoring and prevention.
Therefore, the enrollment process cannot proceed using this mobile number.

2.What is the Mobile Number Revocation List (MNRL)?

When a mobile number is surrendered or permanently disconnected, it may be reassigned to a new customer after 90 days. However, many users do not update their contact details on service platforms, either due to infrequent use or lack of awareness. This can lead to serious risks such as identity or profile takeover when the number is reused.

To address this, the Department of Telecommunications has introduced the Mobile Number Revocation List (MNRL), which helps ensure transparency and enables service providers to clean up outdated records. This prevents sensitive information like OTPs being sent to unintended recipients.

Following TRAI and RBI directives, TransUnion CIBIL will use the Mobile Number Revocation List to curb fraud and improve oversight. Mobile numbers listed in the MNRL will be blocked from accessing services like login, authentication, and enrollment.

3.What happens to my existing CIBIL account if my registered mobile number is on the Mobile Number Revocation List?

If the mobile number linked to your account is found in the Mobile Number Revocation List, your account will be locked and will no longer receive any communication or authentication messages.

4.What happens after my account is locked?

• You will not receive alerts or notifications.
• You will get an email notification about the account lock.
• You will need to verify your identity and update your mobile number (if applicable) to unlock your account.

5.How can I unlock my account?

To unlock your account:

1. Log in to your CIBIL account using your username and password.
2. Provide the requested details, including an alternate mobile number and any additional verification information.

If you do not unlock your account, you will not receive alerts or notifications. This may affect your ability to monitor your credit profile effectively.

6.As a consumer, how can I access the Mobile Number Revocation List published by Department of Telecommunication?

Consumers cannot directly access the Mobile Number Revocation List. Mobile Number Revocation List is available only through the Digital Intelligence Platform (DIP) and is restricted to designated entities such as banks, NBFCs, payment aggregators, credit bureaus, and other regulated financial institutions.

Understand your CIBIL Score and Report

Understand your CIBIL Score and Report

What is a CIBIL Score and Report?

CIBIL Score is a three-digit numeric summary of your credit history. The score is derived using the credit history found in the CIBIL Report (also known as CIR i.e. Credit Information Report). A CIR is an individual's credit payment history across loan types and credit institutions over a period of time. A CIR does not contain details of your savings, investments or fixed deposits.

How do I read my CIR?

A CIR has detailed information on the credit you have availed, such as home loan, automobile loan, credit card, personal loan, overdraft facilities. Below are the key sections of the CIR

CIBIL Score

Your CIBIL score, calculated based on your credit behavior as reflected in the 'Accounts' and 'Enquiries' section of your CIR, ranges between 300-900. A score above 700 is generally considered good.

Personal information

Contains your name, date of birth, gender and identification numbers such as PAN, passport number, voter's number

Contact Information

Address and telephone numbers are provided in this section, up to 4 addresses are present

Employment Information

Monthly or annual income details as reported by the Members (Banks and Financial institutions).

Account information

This section contains the details of your credit facilities including name of lenders, type of credit facilities (home, auto, personal, overdraft, etc.), account numbers, ownership details, date opened, date of last payment, loan amount, current balance and a month on month record (of up to 3 years) of your payments.

Enquiry Information

Every time you apply for a loan or credit card, the respective Bank or financial institution accesses your CIR. The system makes a note of this in your credit history and the same is referred as "Enquiries"

What do the various terms used in the CIR mean?

Go through the glossary to understand your CIR better.

I have an add-on credit card. Why are the details reflecting on my account when I am not liable to pay?

It is important to note that even if primary card holder is responsible for payments for charges incurred on both the primary and add-on credit card. Any default made in payments shall reflect in CIR of both the primary and add-on card holder.

Why are the loans for which I am a guarantor showing up on my report?

Banks and Financial institutions ask for a guarantor for certain loans as a means of security for the loan amount they provide. A guarantor on any form of loan is equally responsible to ensure the repayment of the loan. Hence, the guarantor provides a guarantee to the lender that he will honor the obligation in case the principal applicant is unable to do so. Any default on the payment of the loan by the principal applicant, will affect your CIBIL Score as well.

I have closed all my accounts on time with the bank and have NOC. Why is it still showing as outstanding on my report?

The reason it may be still reflecting in your CIBIL Report is because the updated information has not been provided to CIBIL by the concerned Credit Institution (CI). You can raise a dispute with CIBIL and we will update you with the response from the CI. As per the Credit Information Companies (Regulation) Act of 2005, we cannot modify any information in the database without confirmation from the concerned Credit Institution.

If you have received a confirmation from the Credit Institution about the submission of revised data to CIBIL, you can check its updated status by clicking here.
