STUDY OF CIBIL IN BANKS
BRIEF HISTORY CIBIL has no such history related to itself. It was just established to avoid frauds, defaults etc by maintaining the credit score of every individual or partners if any. The banks registered with CIBIL do the registration for the individual or partners. Thus CIBIL keeps them updated within every ! or " days with the credit score of the individual or partners. CIBIL does not have a proper history as it#s the first ever such bureau set up.
