How to Check Your Current Cibil Score by Aadhar Card?

You may need a loan to cover big-ticket expenses, such as home purchases, car purchases, or funding a wedding, education, medical emergencies, home renovations, travel plans, etc. However, when you apply for a loan, lending institutions use the CIBIL score to statistically represent your creditworthiness.

Therefore, it is essential to check your credit score before applying for a loan to see where you stand.
