What you need before you start

  • The Paytm app installed on your smartphone and logged into your active account. You can find more details about its payment features on our UPI apps page.
  • Your Permanent Account Number (PAN) card details. If you need a more detailed breakdown, you can also learn how to download your free CIBIL report PDF using a PAN card.
  • The mobile number linked to your bank accounts and credit cards. This helps the credit bureau fetch your credit history.

How to check your CIBIL score on Paytm

  1. Open the Paytm app and scroll down to the Loans and Credit Cards section on the home screen.
  2. Tap the Free Credit Score icon.
  3. Enter your full name exactly as it appears on your PAN card. Add your date of birth and email address.
  4. Enter your PAN card number.
  5. Enter the OTP verification code sent to your mobile number to confirm your identity.

How long it takes and what it costs

The entire process takes less than two minutes for a first-time user. The number updates instantly on subsequent visits. Paytm does not charge any fee for this service.

Checking your own credit report is a soft inquiry. This means you can check it as often as you like without hurting your credit history. If you are curious about other platforms, you can read our guide on credit score apps in India to see what they show and what they cost.

Why your score updates faster now

Under the 2026 RBI weekly reporting rules, banks and non-banking financial companies must send loan data to credit bureaus every week (rbi.org.in). Previously, lenders reported this data once a month.

This means your Paytm credit score check online will reflect a cleared loan or a paid credit card bill much sooner than before.

If it does not work or shows errors

If your score does not load, check if your mobile number matches the one linked to your PAN card.

How to report a mistake

You might see a loan you never took or a late payment you actually paid on time. You must raise a dispute directly with the credit bureau shown on the Paytm screen, like TransUnion CIBIL, Equifax, CRIF High Mark or Experian. RBI rules require credit bureaus and lenders to resolve your dispute within 30 days (rbi.org.in).

Claiming the ₹100 daily compensation

If the bureau or lender fails to fix the error within 30 days, you are entitled to compensation. The RBI mandates a penalty of ₹100 for every day the delay continues (rbi.org.in). You must file this claim with the credit bureau that issued the report.
