You may be just the person to help me with details.

It is an old thread, I'm linking here. Please feel free to reply.

Does anyone here have any idea of how long closed loan accounts and closed credit card account remains on one's credit report?
Is there any criteria for removing closed accounts that were in good standing that is all payments are made on time and those closed accounts whose payments were not made on time?

Has anyone had any experience regarding this?

I have searched this on Google but only USA's laws comes up. As I understand in USA good standing account (on time payments) remains on account for 10 years even after closing them and for accounts with any derogatory marks they will remain on report for 7 years.

Is there any such rule in India?
 
One Trick of increasing CIBIL score is letting the banks report my moderate usage (Like 10 to 12% utilization) for multiple cards. It downs my score my 2 points at max, and then suddenly all the utilization turns to zero as I pay the entire amount, that bumps the score by at least 7 to 8 points. This has worked for me, not sure if it works for others. But yeah it doesn't always work
 
After 3 years enquires will fall off but not closed accounts.
Not true! I had a Kotak CC enquiry on my CIBIL dating back to 2016.

This 3 years drop off window is for USA, not applicable in India.
