Checking your own CIBIL Score does not lower it. CIBIL distinguishes a consumer checking their own report from lender enquiries made during credit applications.
What is the difference?
A self-check is for monitoring your credit. A lender enquiry is associated with a credit application.
What should you do before borrowing?
Review your report, verify active accounts, check recent enquiries, and calculate the EMI you can afford.
