What applies to this exact problem

Use the official CIBIL dispute process for CIBIL data and the corresponding processes at CRIF High Mark, Experian or Equifax where the error appears. Ask the lender/data furnisher to correct its source reporting too.

RBI's amended credit-information reporting directions took effect on 1 July 2026. Credit institutions report on four reference dates each month—the 9th, 16th, 23rd and the last day—rather than on a literal weekly schedule. A dispute still depends on investigation and confirmation by the lender or data furnisher and the credit-information company; the cadence does not guarantee an instant correction.
