What this means for your application

  • Higher scores improve both your approval odds and the credit limit you're offered.
  • Issuers also weigh income, employment stability and your existing debt.
  • A rejected application leaves a hard enquiry on your report — apply only when you comfortably qualify.

Note: this is a guideline, not a hard cut-off. Existing customers of IDFC FIRST Bank are often approved on slightly lower scores.
