Credit Information Report (CIR) contains various sections, such as your payment history, CIBIL score, recent enquiries, collateral/security details, updated DPD values, etc. that play a significant role in calculating your credit score. Days Past Due (DPD) is one of the vital components of your CIBIL report. It signifies the total number of days by which you have missed your loan EMIs or credit card payments. DPD indicates your creditworthiness and past credit behaviour that significantly influence your loan or credit card approval.
Each time you avail a credit facility, a separate DPD table is generated in your credit report for that particular loan or credit card. In case you default on any loan payment, the DPD holds this information for at least 3 years. To check the status of your DPD, you need to monitor your CIBIL report regularly. You can also check and download your free credit score online and receive monthly updates with no impact on your credit score.
Format and Values of DPD in your CIBIL report
As aforementioned there is a separate DPD table generated for each credit product in your name. The DPD table highlights the monthly payment chart of the repayment made in the past. If in case you have done all your previous payments in time, your DPD table will reflect a numeric ‘000’. However, if you have missed or delayed the loan EMIs or credit card dues by 30 days. Your CIBIL report will contain the DPD value of ‘30’ against your previous monthly report.
‘STD’ or Standard term defines that the payment has been done within 90 days, which is considered good by the financial institutions.
‘XXX’ is shown in your credit report when the lender does not provide any relevant data regarding repayments to the credit bureau.
Any DPD value besides ‘000’ and ‘XXX’ negatively impacts your credit report.
