Good CIBIL Score

Get your CIBIL Score
 
Some simple steps can help you build a good credit score

There are no quick fixes to become credit healthy overnight and there is no magic wand that will make all your credit score woes go away. However we do have a few suggestions that can help you in being credit healthy without break into a sweat or racking your brains. You could use one or more of these suggestions simultaneously to work towards getting a good CIBIL Score.
 
Check the credit limit:
 
Your credit card limit is Rs. 100,000 and you run a bill of average Rs. 70,000 per month but you manage to pay it all on time so there is no problem; right? Wrong! Credit utilization ratio is a ratio between the total available credit limit available to a person and what he/she utilizes per month. A high credit card ratio even if you are able to pay it on time is not good for the CIBIL score as it is an indicator of credit hungry behavior. There are two ways of dealing with this; the first obviously is to lower the credit card spending and the second could be to get a bigger credit limit.
 
One can get in touch with the existing card issuer and get the credit card limit enhanced; this is possible if the card holder is eligible for a bigger credit limit. If this is not possible then one could explore the option of getting another card issued, this will increase the overall credit limit available and the user can spread his/her expenditure across both cards. Remove the irritants from the CIR: Sometimes there are some old issues that we seem to have forgotten but unfortunately (for us)
 
Credit Information Report (CIR) continues to remember it and carries it forward. These could be an issue like an old credit card due which was not paid and has since then grown bigger due to fines and charges being levied over and over again. Also there could be an open loan which has been paid in full but an NOC has not been taken. Sorting out any such issue may take time and requires patience but removal of any such irritant is bound to have an immediate positive impact on the CIBIL score.
 
Check for mistakes:
 
There are times when the cause of a low CIBIL score may not be your own mistake but a mistake by some other agency.
 
This can be detected only if one scrutinizes their credit report carefully. Just point out the mistake to the credit bureau and they will do the needful and get in touch with the required agency to remove the error from the CIR. There is simple mechanism available both online and offline for removal of any mistakes from a person's CIR.
 
 Avoid making unnecessary loan enquiries:
 
This is not something that you should do but something that you should not do! Do not make any loan enquiries till you are sure that you require a loan and till you are fairly certain that you meet the required terms and eligibility criteria laid down by the lender. When any loan application is made, the prospective lender seeks the applicant's CIBIL Report; this is known as a hard enquiry and impacts the CIBIL score negatively.
 
A loan rejection means that one has to apply for a loan again which will generate another hard enquiry. Finding out about a bank's policies for loan sanction is not difficult, if you really need a loan then apply to a bank where you are likely to get the loan sanctioned.
 
Not being credit hungry is good for credit health! Nothing beats paying on time: This is the simplest yet the best and almost the most important aspect to be credit healthy.
 
This cannot be a onetime effort but it has to be a habit; being disciplined in payments goes a long way in keeping the score in the green. A delay is generally due to being forgetful or lacking discipline so set up reminders, put in auto debit mandate, use post its or whatever it takes but do not delay payments.

Birla SunLife Manufacturing Equity Fund

The Make in India program was launched by Prime Minister Naredra Modi in September 2014 as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives. It was devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub. The primary motive of the campaign is to encourage multinational as well domestic companies to manufacture their products in India. This would create more job opportunities, bring high-quality standards and attract capital along with technological investment to bring more foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country.   Why India as the next manufacturing destination?   The rising demand in India along with the multinational's desire to diversify their production to include low-cost plants in countries other than China, can help India's manufacturing sector to grow and create millions of jobs. In the words of our Honourable Prime Minister- Mr. Narendra Modi, India offers the 3 'Ds' for business to thrive— democracy,...

Total Returns Index brings out real Equity Funds Performers

From February, equity mutual funds have to change their benchmarks to account for dividend payments. Until now, funds used price-based benchmarks alone. TRI or total return indices assume that dividend payouts are reinvested back into the index. What this does is lift the overall index returns, because dividends get compounded. For example, the Sensex TRI index will consider dividend payouts of its constituent companies while the Nifty50 TRI index will consider dividends of its constituents. Using TRI indices as benchmarks comes on the argument that an equity funds earn dividends on the stocks in its portfolio, which they use to buy more stocks. Therefore, using an index that also considers dividend reinvestment would be a more appropriate benchmark. Shrinking outperformance With a stiffer benchmark, it is obvious that the margin by which an equity fund outperforms the benchmark would shrink. Rolling one-year returns from 2013 onwards, the average margin by which largecap funds out...

Stock Review: Havells

HAVELLS India's stock performance has been muted in the past three months, in line with the weak broader market. But, given the turnaround in its overseas subsidiary and the launch of new products in its consumer durable business, the company's stock may undergo a re-rating.    Havells is India's leading consumer electrical goods company, with consolidated sales of . 5,527 crore in the past four quarters. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Sylvania, which makes lighting and fixtures, has established brands in European, Latin American and Asian markets. Sylvania repre sented nearly half of the company's consolidated revenues in the first half of FY11.    Sylvania's poor financials hit Havells' consolidated performance in FY10. But, this has changed in the cur rent fiscal. Havells has reduced fixed costs of Sylvania by exiting from unprofitable businesses and outsourcing manufacturing to low-cost locations such as India and China. In the September 2010 quarter, Sylv...
