Missing an EMI can trigger penalties, extra interest, and a drop in your CIBIL score. But quick action can minimise damage. Pay the overdue amount, speak with your lender, reschedule EMIs if required, and set up auto-debit. With consistent payments, your credit score can fully recover in 3–6 months.

Improving your CIBIL score in just 90 days is completely possible with the right habits. By paying EMIs on time, reducing credit card utilisation, clearing small dues, avoiding new credit applications, and fixing errors in your report, you can boost your score by 40–90 points and unlock better loan opportunities.
