CIBIL MSME Rank (CMR)

The CIBIL MSME Rank (CMR) system is essentially used as a tool that helps financial institutions assess the credit risk associated with MSMEs. It summarises your Company Credit Report (CCR), which is a record of your company's credit history, based on data submitted to CIBIL by lending institutions. This helps financial institutions make informed lending decisions.

It applies to those MSMEs that have borrowed anywhere between ₹10 Lakhs to ₹50 Crores. The CMR system provides a rank (ranging from 1 to 10, where 1 is the best possible rank) to MSMEs. This ranking is based on the credit behaviour exhibited by these MSME firms in the past.

How is the CIBIL MSME Rank Calculated?

The CMR is calculated after careful evaluation of key parameters such as:

1. Repayment Behaviour

Timeliness of previous payments
Overdue amounts
Delinquency status

2. Liquidity Profile

Rate of utilisation of funds
Missed payments

3. Firmographics

Vintage of credit relationships
