There are two types of CIBIL enquiry, hard and soft. Soft enquiry doesn’t affect the score, only hard enquiry may or may not affect.
Hard enquiry needs official initiation/approval from your side.
I think soft enquiry any one can do.

Their is no authorization required for hard enquiry
The moment you asked for the rates, the other person must have confirmed few details with you (PAN, Mobile DOB etc ) and must have done a hard enquiry to give you the rates based on your CIBIL score. ..in past had same issue where in HDFC did hard enquiry when I just wanted to check the offer
