What is the CIBIL™ score needed for the ICICI Car loan?

ICICI Bank considers the credit score issued by CIBIL™ as the basis to issue any loan application. The bank requires the applicants to have a minimum CIBIL™ score of 750 for the applicant to be considered for loan application. Apart from the requirement of a minimum credit score, the bank also has set many other eligibility parameters that have to be met by the applicants. These eligibility parameters include,

  • Age of the applicant
  • Income of the applicant
  • Work experience of the applicant
  • Employment status of the applicant
  • Residential status of the applicant
  • Relationship with the bank

The applicants have to meet all the above eligibility criteria set by the bank or any other condition set by the bank at their discretion. These stringent conditions ensure that the loan sanctioned is viable and the applicant has sufficient repayment capacity for the loan taken.

If the loan instalments cannot be paid on a timely basis by the applicants, then it negatively affects the credit score of the borrower. A negative impact on the credit score is considered to be harmful in the long run. The borrower may find difficulty in getting approval of any loans or credit cards or may even face a reduction in their existing credit limit.
