The Supreme Court of India has resolved a long-standing issue for Rajendra Singh Panwar, a businessman from Uttarakhand, whose credit score was inaccurately reported as negative for years. Despite having no outstanding loans or defaults, Panwar faced significant barriers to accessing financial services due to erroneous credit records linked to a shared Permanent Account Number (PAN) with others who had the same name. After filing a petition, the court sought responses from major banks, including the State Bank of India and Punjab National Bank, both of which confirmed that they had not reported any adverse information regarding Panwar. Following these clarifications, the Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited (CIBIL) corrected his records, allowing him to finally access financial facilities. This resolution marks the end of a five-year struggle that began in the Uttarakhand High Court, highlighting the challenges individuals face due to inaccuracies in credit reporting systems.
