How does of 24 carat gold rate impacts gold loans
The 24 carat gold rate can influence the value of gold in the market, but gold loan eligibility depends on the type of gold you pledge. Bajaj Finance accepts eligible gold jewellery and ornaments of 18-22 karat purity and gold coins up to 24 karat, subject to applicable terms.
The loan amount depends on the gold’s purity, net weight, valuation and the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) loan-to-value (LTV) limits. Under RBI guidelines, valuation is based on the lower of the previous day’s closing price or the 30-day average closing price for the relevant purity, published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. Compare rates and check your eligible loan amount before applying.
