How often is my CIBIL score updated?

In short: Your score changes when your lenders send new data to the credit bureaus. Under RBI’s revised credit-reporting rules, from 1 July 2026 lenders report four times a month, on the 9th, 16th and 23rd and the last day of the month. Before that it was every fortnight. So a payment you make today usually reaches your report within one to two weeks, plus a few days for the bureau to process it. If a closed loan still shows as open after a month, raise a dispute.

Faster reporting cuts both ways. A cleared loan shows up sooner, which helps when you’re about to apply. A missed EMI also shows up sooner, so there is less time to sort out a payment slip before it is on your record.

What most people get wrong: they check their score the day after paying off a loan, see no change, and assume something is wrong. Give it two reporting cycles first. If it still hasn’t changed after that, then act.

Your score isn’t updating: what to do

  1. Get your no-dues certificate

    Ask the lender for a no-objection or no-dues certificate (NOC) when you close any loan, including small app loans.

  2. Check all four bureaus

    Lenders report to TransUnion CIBIL, Experian, Equifax and CRIF High Mark. One may have updated before the others.

  3. Raise a dispute with the NOC attached

    Disputes must be resolved within 30 days. If they take longer, the RBI’s framework entitles you to ₹100 for each day of delay. Step-by-step dispute guide.

Omozing considers salaried applicants with a score from 600 and a take-home of ₹40,000 or more, and a credit officer reads your full report.

Frequently asked questions

How often is the CIBIL score updated?

Whenever lenders send new data. From 1 July 2026 lenders report four times a month (the 9th, 16th, 23rd and the last day of the month), so most changes appear within one to two weeks.

How long after closing a loan will my CIBIL score update?

Usually within one to two weeks under the 2026 reporting rules. If it hasn’t changed after about a month, raise a dispute with the bureau and attach your no-dues certificate.

Why is my score different on different apps?

Apps may use different bureaus, and each bureau gets data on its own schedule and uses its own scoring model, so small differences are normal.

Does my score update daily?

Your score is recalculated when new information reaches the bureau, which now happens several times a month rather than every day.

What if the bureau doesn’t fix an error in 30 days?

Under the RBI’s compensation framework you are entitled to ₹100 for each day of delay beyond 30 days, paid by the lender or bureau responsible for the delay.
