Keep credit utilization under 30%

Using less than 30% of your total credit limit signals discipline to lenders.

Avoid frequent loan or card applications

Each hard enquiry shaves 5–10 points. Space out applications by 6 months.

Maintain a healthy credit mix

A balance of secured (home loan) and unsecured (cards) credit improves your profile.
