How To Correct CIBIL Report Mistakes

CIBIL Report

Your CIBIL Report serves as a comprehensive record of your creditworthiness, like a financial report card. Banks and financial institutions regularly submit details of your loans and credit cards to TransUnion CIBIL. It is wise to review this report periodically, much like verifying academic transcripts for inaccuracies.

Financial institutions submit loan and credit card account information to TransUnion CIBIL on a monthly basis. These updates are typically reflected in your report within 15-30 days. As a result, recent EMI payments or credit card transactions may not appear immediately.
