Checking one’s CIBIL Score, also known as Credit Score, was once a time-consuming and costly task. For checking the latest credit score, several institutions charge anywhere from Rs 500 to Rs 1000.
Paytm, on the other hand, is changing that.
Anyone may now check their credit score for free on the Paytm app.

Why Is Paytm Giving Away a Free Credit Score?
To begin with, the ability to check one’s credit score for free is a fantastic branding opportunity for Paytm.

The second explanation is as follows:
Because the bulk of customers who would use this function to check their credit score are also interested in investing, Paytm may send them to Paytm Money, which has great plans for fintech products.
Paytm Money has already established itself as a prominent player in the mutual fund industry, as well as stockbroking.
