Why was my loan rejected despite having a high CIBIL score?
Accepted Answer ✓ Accepted
High CIBIL score (750+) doesn't guarantee approval. Other rejection reasons: (1) High debt-to-income ratio - existing EMIs exceed 50% of income; (2) Insufficient income - below lender's minimum threshold for your city; (3) Job instability - frequent job changes (<1 year each), short tenure in current company (70% of credit card limits; (6) Employment factors - company not in lender's approved list, probation period; (7) Negative remarks - even if settled, comments like 'written off' visible; (8) Age - too close to retirement age for requested tenure; (9) Documentation issues - income proof not matching, address verification failed; (10) Internal lender policies - lending freeze in your profile segment. Solution: Ask for specific rejection reason, wait 3 months before reapplying, try different lender type (NBFC if bank rejected), reduce existing debt, improve documentation.

A good credit score doesn't guarantee approval. You might be rejected due to low income, too many existing loans, unstable employment, recent job change, high credit card usage, or issues with document verification. Ask the lender for the specific reason and address that issue before applying elsewhere.
