Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

ü Q1. My Credit Score on Paytm is different from the Credit Score on other websites/apps

This might be due to two reasons:

There are 4 Credit Bureaus in India & Credit Scores fetched from different Credit Bureaus will differ (yes, different bureaus score you differently).

Credit Scores fetched from the same Credit Bureau but on different dates might also differ. Between the two dates, updated credit history (account status change, new account, repayment etc.) is incorporated in your Credit Report. At times, even if nothing changes in an account, just the time gap between the two reports can also lead to different scores.

ü Q2. Credit Card(s) or Loan account(s) missing from the list shown on Paytm

Credit/Loan accounts where you gave your PAN to your lender, are available in your Credit Report through Paytm. This is because we use you PAN as one of the key identified to generate the credit report.
