In terms of RBI recent guidelines on Priority Sector Lending vide Master Circular no. RBI/2015-16/53 FIDD.CO.Plan.BC.04/04.09.01/2015-16 dated 1 July 2015 the relevant para reads as follows:-

Education
"Loans to individuals for educational purposes including vocational courses up to Rs10 lakh irrespective of the sanctioned amount will be considered as eligible for priority sector".

I am of the view that the applicant, if eligible, should approach any schedule commercial bank and apply for the Education Loan under Priority Sector.

In absence of details of the credit facilities availed and the history, I am unable to dwell on the SME/ ML.

I trust this will meet the query.
