Abstract
Indian banks are evolving with innovative methods in loan approval process, in order to retain their retail customers and to get
rid of competition. One of the methods in sanctioning retail loans is based on the CIBIL’s credit score. Retail customers having
good credit score bargain for less interest rate. There was a lack of transparency in establishing flexible credit approval system.
To enable the banker to fix transparent credit approval system with the coherence of the customers, the research was done from
the customers’ perspective. Responses from 328 retail loan borrowers were gathered through interview schedule. The research
revealed that, a hundred point swell in credit score decreases the interest rate by 40 basic points. The research concludes that
the CIBIL’s credit scoring system is a tool used for price discrimination; but it could not be used as price control mechanism by
the banks.
