What is the CIBIL™ score required for SBI personal loans?

CIBIL™ is a credit rating agency that provides credit score for individuals and business entities. This credit score is the measure of the creditworthiness of the applicants. The credit score issued by CIBIL™ is a three-digit number that is from 300 to 900. A credit score closer to 300 is considered to be bad and risky by the lenders while a credit score closer to 900 is considered to be good and favourable by the lenders.

SBI requires the applicants to have a credit score of 650 or more to be eligible for their personal loans. An applicant with a high CIBIL™ score can also get a better rate of interest or loans at lower processing charges. A credit score lower than that will not be considered to be favourable for the loan applications. The loan application in such a case will mostly be rejected.

However, note that the bank may sanction the loan to an applicant with a lower credit score at its discretion. In such a case, the applicant may have to provide additional security or may get loans at a higher rate of interest or may have to provide a third-party guarantee.
