She talked about the different ways in which a CIBIL score benefits both financial institutions as well as the consumers, giving advantages such as a decrease in processing time of loans, standardization of decisions taken by banks across branches etc. Data Quality was a major challenge that she spoke about. Giving references on how the score is calculated, she also explained how it has led to increasing financial discipline among the people of the country. The session ended with few more inputs on the future scope of CIBIL and the ways to increase one’s ‘credit worthiness’.
