To achieve a CIBIL score above 800, focus on financial discipline and long-term habits:
- Ensure a 100% on-time payment history for all EMIs and credit card bills.
- Maintain a low credit utilization ratio, ideally keeping outstanding balances below 20-30% of your total credit limit.
- Do not close old credit accounts, as the length of your credit history is a key factor.
- Have a healthy mix of secured and unsecured credit.
Regularly monitor your credit report for any inaccuracies.
