Quick Glossary
Essential finance terms — plain and simple
CIBIL Score
A 3-digit number (300–900) that tells banks how trustworthy a borrower you are. Higher = better loan rates.
Interest Rate (p.a.)
"Per annum" = per year. A 12% p.a. personal loan charges 1% per month on the outstanding balance.
IFSC Code
11-character bank branch identifier used for NEFT/RTGS transfers. Find it on your cheque or bank passbook.
NPA (Non-Performing Asset)
A loan where repayment is overdue by 90+ days. Being labelled NPA severely damages your credit score.
OTP (One-Time Password)
A 4–6 digit temporary code sent to verify transactions. NEVER share this with anyone — ever. Banks never ask for OTPs.
Phishing
A scam where fraudsters impersonate banks via fake emails/SMS/calls to steal your login credentials or OTPs.
MCLR
Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate — the minimum rate at which banks can lend. Floating loan rates are linked to this.
DICGC Insurance
Government body that insures your bank deposits up to ₹5 lakh per bank if the bank fails. Your money is protected.
