CIBIL Score: Metric estimates your ability to repay personal loan; check steps to calculate your score here

-

A personal loan is one of the most common borrowing options for people seeking funds for a variety of personal reasons. In India, some of the best personal loans help borrowers access a high-value sanction which is done online and within a matter of minutes.

Among the many factors, this ease of access is totally dependent on your eligibility, of which one of the main factors is the credit score. Usually, lenders in India will require the borrower to have a minimum CIBIL score of 750. The higher the CIBIL score, the easier will be the qualifying time for these loans to process.

What is CIBIL score?

It is a three-digit credit score assigned by TransUnion CIBIL Limited. CIBIL score or credit score is a number that lies on a scale from 300 to 900 points. With these points, based on your credit history, lenders are able to decide a person’s credit worthiness or capacity to repay a loan. Then they accordingly decide on loan eligibility and applicable loan terms.

A credit score above 750 is considered excellent and can get approval for a personal loan at lower interest rates. However, if your CIBIL score is below 750, an individual can still apply for a personal loan, but the chances of interest rate might be high.

The CIBIL score is calculated on 4 key factors, which are:

- Frequency of loan inquiries: Individuals with multiple credit inquiries or past loans can have a negative effect on the score as it signifies that past loans might add up to the current

- Payment history: If an individual has a credit history that reflects late payments or defaults is likely to lower your credit score

- Credit utilisation: Borrowers who utilise a high percentage of their assigned credit limit indicate a rising dependency on credit. This can also be another negative factor that can affect the credit score

- Credit mix: To have a positive impact on the credit score, an individual should have a balance between secured and unsecured debt

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-
Image
After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
