2. Keep utilization <30% (30% weight) — if limit is ₹1L, never carry >₹30K
3. Old accounts (15%) — don't close your first credit card
4. Credit mix (10%) — 1 card + 1 small loan beats 5 cards
5. New enquiries (10%) — don't apply for 5 loans in a month
6-month plan
- Month 1: Pull free CIBIL report (cibil.com)
- Month 2–3: Settle any "written-off" accounts
- Month 4–6: Pay all dues 5 days early; utilization <20%
