What is Days Past Due (DPD)?

DPD stands for Days Past Due and is one of the most crucial components in your credit report, which indicates your creditworthiness. It is crucial for loan approvals as it indicates the missed payments on your EMIs/credit card bills. Each loan creates a separate DPD table, on your credit report. In case of repayment default, the DPD stays on the report for three years.

Format of DPD in CIBIL

A separate DPD table exists for each loan/credit card in your credit report. The table displays your monthly repayment history, with values indicating any delay in EMI/credit card bill payment. Refer to the sample DPD table provided below for an overview of the format in your credit report.

DPD Value	000	XXX	30	60
Month	01-25	02-25	03-25	04-25

Important DPD Values and Their Significance

It is important to know what the values provided in the DPD table indicate and understand how they impact your creditworthiness.

DPD Value	Meaning	Significance
000	On-time payments with no outstanding dues	Safest value; indicates timely EMI payments and financial responsibility. Lenders may approve loans despite a lower CIBIL score if DPD remains 000 consistently.
XXX	No data provided by lender to CIBIL	No impact on the applicant’s profile and they are considered safe. In the above sample, it means that no details were provided for February 2025.
30, 60, 90	Number of days passed after the payment due date.	Any value (30 or 60) negatively impacts the credit report and overall creditworthiness. In the sample, 30 denotes a missed EMI in March 2025, while 60 indicates default for both March and April.

Finance experts advise that you must not miss your EMI/credit card bill payments for more than 90 days (three months).

Other DPD Values

Apart from the aforementioned values, you may also find other DPD values on your credit report:

DPD Value	Meaning
STD	Standard Payment: Payment made within 90 days of the due date.
SUB	Sub-Standard Payment: Payment made more than 90 days after the due date.
DBT	Doubtful: Payment remained sub-standard for over 12 months.
LSS	Loss: Indicates a high likelihood that the borrower won't repay the loan amount.

Why is DPD Significant?

DPD is crucial as it reveals the frequency and duration of delayed payments for your loan EMIs or credit card bills. Timely repayments are a key factor in determining creditworthiness. This makes DPD a vital criterion for loan/credit card eligibility. In certain cases, a clean DPD can lead to loan/credit approval even with a less-than-ideal credit score.
