Whether you paid EMIs and card bills on time is a major factor. Delays, defaults, and settled accounts can remain visible for years.
How much of your available credit you use across cards and lines influences your score. Lower utilization is generally better for credit readiness.
Older accounts in good standing can support your profile. Closing old cards may sometimes reduce average account age.
A healthy mix of secured and unsecured credit, used responsibly, can reflect stability — but only take credit you genuinely need.
Recent hard enquiries from applications signal active borrowing attempts. Too many in a short window may concern lenders.
