Nagaresh, J., directed for reconsideration of loan applications, disregarding the low Credit Score of the co-obligants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Petitioners were aggrieved by the denial of the education loan in the present case. The 2<sup>nd<\/sup> respondent had rejected the application for an education loan for the reason that the CIBIL Score of the co-applicant was not up to the mark.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On being aggrieved with the above, the petitioner approached the Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Petitioner cited the decision of this Court in <em>Pranav S.R. v. SBI, <\/em>[2020 KHC 4695], wherein it was held that unsatisfactory credit scores of the parents of the petitioner cannot be a ground to reject an educational loan application because the repayment capacity of the petitioner after his education should be the deciding factor. Therefore, the respondents are compellable to sanction and disburse the educational loan applied for by the petitioners.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Analysis and Decision<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court expressed that, in the exercise of the powers conferred by Sections 21 and 35A read with Section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, the Reserve Bank of India, in public interest, has issued Reserve Bank of India (Priority Sector Lending- Targets and Classification) Directions, 2020. Direction 4 contained therein categorises Education as a priority sector. Direction 11 states that Loans to individuals for educational purposes, including vocational courses, not exceeding \u20b920 lakhs will be considered as eligible for priority sector classification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bench stated that, this Court in the decision of <em>Pranav S.R. v. SBI, <\/em>[2020 KHC 4695], has held that for educational loans, the repayment possibilities are to be decided not on the financial position of the parents but solely on the projected future earnings of the students on employment after education.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence, in the present matter, Court found no reason to take any different view and allowed the petitions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lastly, the High Court directed the respondents to reconsider the loan applications, disregarding the low Credit Score of the co-obligants, if any, and sanction and disburse the eligible loan amount.[Kiran David v.
