Paisalo Digital announces partnership with State Bank of India to jointly fund SME loans
Paisalo Digital has entered into a Co-Lending Loan Arrangement for SME products with the State Bank of India (SBI), the country's largest public sector bank. This agreement, formalised on June 26, 2025, marks a significant extension of the existing SBI-Paisalo partnership and further strengthens their collaborative platform for inclusive credit delivery.
This new co-lending arrangement builds upon the already operational co-lending (formerly co origination) digital platform established between Paisalo and SBI in 2021. It is fully aligned with the Reserve Bank of India's guidelines on co-lending of loans issued on November 5, 2020, which aim to deepen credit flow to priority sectors, including micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), by leveraging the combined reach and strengths of banks and NBFCs.
Under this arrangement, SBI and Paisalo will jointly fund SME loans, enabling wider access to formal credit for India's growing base of small businesses, especially in tier 2, tier 3 cities and rural markets. The SBI-Paisalo co-lending platform is a digital platform that offers end-to-end services for loan origination, processing, disbursement, servicing, and recovery, ensuring efficiency and transparency throughout the loan lifecycle.

Poor Cibil score costs TN man bank job; HC upholds decision
CHENNAI: Asserting that a person with poor or no financial discipline cannot be trusted with public money, Madras high court confirmed State Bank of India's decision cancelling the appointment of a circle-based officer (CBO) due to a poor Cibil score. "...the bank took a prudent decision that candidates with a history of default in repayment of loans and adverse Cibil reports were ineligible. The probable rationale behind the criteria may be that in the banking business employees deal with public money and, therefore, financial discipline needs to be strictly maintained," Justice N Mala said. Further, there must be efficiency in handling public money and, obviously, a person with poor or no financial discipline cannot be trusted with public money, she added. The court's observations came while dismissing a plea moved by P Karthikeyan challenging the SBI order dated April 9, 2021 cancelling his appointment as CBO. According to the petitioner, on the date of notification of the recruitment, he did not have dues or an adverse report in repayment of loans/credit card as he had cleared all loans. He was not declared a defaulter by the Cibil report, or by any other agency, and therefore the order cancelling his appointment as a defaulter was illegal and liable to be set aside, his counsel said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like India's first integrated Power Backup Solution - Livguard Lithium-X Livguard Shop Now Undo Opposing the plea, SBI submitted that one stipulated eligibility criteria was that candidates with records of default in repayment of loans, adverse reports by Cibil or other external agencies were not eligible for appointment. Since the petitioner gave a false declaration, his appointment was cancelled, SBI counsel C Mohan said. The petitioner's Cibil report revealed an adverse credit history in repayment of loans and credit card usage, and therefore the petitioner was found ineligible under Clause 1(E) of the eligibility criteria, he added. Concurring with the submissions, the court dismissed the petition.
