* Thread on #CIBIL SCORE *

Since the thread on #CreditCards ,
(Link here for reference , )

Many DM'ed me asking about CIBIL score , so decided to write a small thread on it .
Disclaimer : This is MY opinion based on MY limited knowledge :)

A CIBIL score is a consumer's credit score generated by a credit bureau on the basis of their algorithm. It basically evaluates the credit history based on reflection of repayment and credit profile & thereby determines the eligibility for a loan.
+
3/10
So a good credit score (above 700 generally ) can help us get a loan easily at a relatively better rate of interest.

How? 🤔
It indicates you PLAN well for your financial needs & pay your debts on TIME. Basically " GOOD CREDIT WORTHINESS " .

Multiple factors in play here :

* Repayment history - Timely repayments give high credit score

* Type of loan availed - Multiple loans (secured/unsecured) is a big NO. Many loans availed in a short timeframe indicate a heavy repayment burden.(Credit utilisation ratio)
+
5/10
* Outstanding balances , write off's & frequency - Whether we close the loan on time & if not the extent and time of default.
Any default or write off automatically lowers the score .
Using a credit card to pay another card due is also carefully scrutinized.

I went and googled right away, but I have no Credit score ! 🙄🤷
This happens when one has not taken any loans or credit cards from any bank . Thus one doesn't have any credit history in order to build a credit score .
So the next step automatically is to build one.
+
7/10
Few pointers:
18-36 months of credit usage is required for a good score.

Using savings account one can apply for a secured loan (aka a credit card) in the same bank.

* A credit card is issued against an FD as well . Different FD amt for different banks applicable.
+
8/10
#CIBILScore ranges from 300-900 & is calculated based on past history & credit worthiness.

A CIBIL score from 750 to 900 is the best possible range option and banks & FI shall consider you to be a low risk borrower .

+
9/10
Work towards a positive Credit Profile :

* ALWAYS pay dues on time.
* Prudent usage of card helps.
* If one has co-signed or signed up as a guarantee or in case of joint accounts ,be careful as you will also be held responsible.
10/10
* Don't keep applying for a credit card repeatedly or increasing limit on the existing card.
* Review CIBIL score prior to loan application to ensure it is good .

Good to be prepared always ! Be loan - ready as we never know when we might need one !

* The End *

A few important life hacks which I have implemented over the past few years that have helped me immensely.

A 🧵
2/10
🔸Making Gratitude an Attitude

Comparison is the theft of joy.
Each day begins & ends with gratitude.

Now I no longer envy others.

I am content. I feel blessed for whatever I have & work hard & live life each day to the best of my ability.

That's all !
3/10
🔸Accepting things & Letting Go

The older I seem to get, the more I have begun to let go.

Baggage weighs us down considerably.

All those thoughts,feelings, emotions we keep bottled up only hurts us.

So I try to reset each morning & travel light.
Certainly helps !🤠

#BookRecommendation
#BookSummary
#Investing

A book that must be read by all direct equity investors but will be appreciated & understood by a few, that too only after witnessing an entire cycle play out in markets.

Few of my takeaways from this 💎 by Howard Marks.

👇🏽 Image
2/30

To consistently beat the market,
You either need a ton of luck or superior insight & awareness of psychology.

Because investing is at least as much of an art as it is a science, it is essential that one's investment approach be intuitive & adaptive always.
3/30

All investors can't beat the market, since collectively, they are the market.

Stellar returns majorly come from correct non consensus forecasts.

Here Second Level Thinking matters immensely.
And the number of people capable of it is tiny.

We 80's kids are truly blessed.
Life was simple then !

We used to play until we were screamed at to return home.

We enjoyed our childhood without mobile phones & WIFI by playing a wide variety of games which improved our hand eye coordination,stamina & focus.

#Nostalgia Image
2/10

Weekends used to consist of watching episodes of Mahabharata , Ramayana,Mogli ,He Man and the likes.

We danced clumsily to the 90's Indi Pop songs & thought WWF was real.

We created so many memories with hardly any photos thanks to the 32 film roll. 😄
3/10

Small things like a top , marbles , a rubber ball , or even a piece of cake with some frosting ( there was no concept of black forest cake ) used to make us insanely happy.

We valued each & every possession of ours.
And somehow never craved for more ...

We were content. ImageImage

#DecisionMaking

How To Decide by Annie Duke.

A brilliant no frills book that offers a framework for thinking about how to improve your decision making , along with a set of tools that help execute it.

A few of my takeaways from this gem !
2/18
There are only 2 things that determine HOW your life turns out : LUCK & QUALITY OF DECISION MAKING.

We have some control over only one of those two things.

When you make better quality decisions, you increase the chances of good things happening to you.
3/18
Our objective is to choose an option that gains most ground in achieving our goals.
Sometimes which entails the least risk.

Thereby we examine the quality of the beliefs informing the decision,the available options & try to envisage the future based on our choices.

Do you know why most of us are majorly unhappy with our lives ?

Why do we constantly feel anxious or secretly envy others' life ?

Why do we feel unhappy despite having quite a few things going for us?

The answer is actually simple.... 🙂

#LifeLessons
#WritingCommnunity
2/5

It's because we humans constantly COMPARE ourselves to others.

Comparison gives birth majorly to all our emotions, especially the negative ones.

So why do we compare our lives with those of others' we (think) we know of?

Why do we benchmark our happiness to theirs' ?
3/5
Ever wondered why we constantly crave to equal or better our peers ?

What purpose does it truly serve ?
Isn't everything in life fleeting ?
Be it fame , beauty , money , laurels ....

So does it really matter ?
And if so, then how much ?

And at the cost of what ?
