Frequently asked questions

Does paying my card in full every month avoid utilization entirely?+

Not necessarily — most issuers report your statement balance, not your ₹0 post-payment balance. Even if you pay in full every month, a high balance on your statement date can still show as high utilization to the credit bureaus.

Is 0% utilization the best score?+

Not quite — many scoring models, including CIBIL's, actually favor a small amount of utilization (roughly 1-10%) over exactly 0%, since it shows active, responsible use of credit rather than no usage at all.

Does requesting a higher credit limit help?+

Yes, if your balances stay the same — a higher limit with the same balance lowers your utilization ratio. Just be aware the request itself may involve a hard credit inquiry, which has a small, separate, temporary effect on your score.
