The RBI’s draft guidelines propose weekly credit score updates enabling faster recognition of repayments and improved loan access for borrowers while enhancing data accuracy and risk assessment for lenders.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released draft guidelines which mandate credit information companies (CICs) to update credit scores weekly as against the current fortnightly cycle. According to the draft Credit Information Reporting (1st Amendment) Directions, 2025 (released on 29 September 2025), all credit bureaus, including TransUnion CIBIL and other RBI-approved agencies, will refresh credit reports on the 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and the last day of every month.
Incremental data- Information on fresh accounts, closures, repayments and asset-classification upgrades/downgrades – will be uploaded by lenders within two days of each cycle. Full monthly data continues to be uploaded as per the usual timeline.
The new set of guidelines will come into effect from 1 April 2026, giving banks and CICs a few months to get ready.
