What Is DBT In CIBIL?

The DBT full form in CIBIL is “Doubtful.” Before understanding the meaning of DBT, let us focus on DPD or Days Past Due in CIBIL reports. It is essentially a snapshot of the borrower's spending patterns. It shows the precise number of days that a borrower has not made the required EMI payment. Your creditworthiness would decline with an increase in DPD. 

The DPD value is usually displayed in a CIBIL report in the following ways;

• 000:

This means that there is no available credit history of an individual. There are no outstanding credits and all debts owed in the borrower's name have been paid in full. 

• XXX:

This means 'Insufficient data'. This may occur if the creditors from whom the client previously obtained credit failed to keep repayment records or failed to send them to Transunion CIBIL.

• 30/60/90:

The duration for which the borrower has fallen behind on EMI payments is indicated by the appearance of figures like  30 / 60 / 90. 

However, in compliance with the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) asset classification guidelines, the mentioned values might at times be displayed in a different format, like STD, SUB, DBT, or LSS.

What is DBT in CIBIL meaning?

A DBT status indicates that the borrower's account has been in the SUB category for more than 12 consecutive months (SUB indicates that charges are being paid after 90 days). Lenders would be advised to deny the loan applications of such debtors because the odds of recovery are virtually nonexistent.
