Each application you make lets a lender run a hard enquiry. Exactly how much one moves your score depends on the rest of your report, so no one can quote a fixed number of points.
A single application is normal. What worries lenders is a cluster: five or six applications in a few weeks usually means someone is short of money and being turned down, or is about to take on several loans at once. That pattern, called being credit hungry, can pull your score down and make the next lender more cautious.
You are entitled to one free full credit report from each bureau every calendar year. Fix any errors before you apply. How to dispute an error.
Read published eligibility rules (minimum score, salary, documents) and apply only where you clearly fit.
Space applications out. If you’re declined, find out why before trying again.
Credit bureaus now send an SMS or email when your report is accessed. If you see an enquiry you didn’t make, raise a dispute straight away.
Our eligibility is published so you can check it before you apply: salaried, take-home of ₹40,000 or more, and a credit score from 600. A credit officer reads your full report rather than rejecting you automatically on the number. If you fit, one application is all you need.
See how we assess scores from 600, and what helps a borderline application.
No. Checking your own score is a soft enquiry and has no effect on it, however often you check.
A hard enquiry is when a lender pulls your credit report because you applied for a loan or credit card. It can lower your score slightly for a while, especially if there are several in a short period.
Screening you for a pre-approved offer is a soft enquiry and doesn’t affect your score. If you go ahead and apply, the lender may then run a hard enquiry.
No. Apps that show you your score use a soft enquiry. Check that the app is genuine and read what it does with your data.
Your full credit report lists enquiries made by lenders, with dates. Bureaus also send an alert when your report is accessed. If you see an enquiry you don’t recognise, raise a dispute with the bureau.
