When gold prices rise, the assessed value of eligible gold jewellery, ornaments or coins may also increase. This can increase the loan amount you may be eligible for against the same gold, subject to the applicable LTV limits and valuation rules. A gold loan can provide access to funds without selling your gold, with repayment options based on the loan terms.
What decides your eligible loan amount?
Your eligible gold loan amount is determined using the following factors:
- Weight of your gold
- Purity of your gold
- Applicable gold rate on the day of assessment
- Applicable Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio
Only the intrinsic value of your gold is considered during valuation. Stones and other embellishments attached to the jewellery, ornaments or coins are not included.
Please note: The final loan amount depends on the applicable LTV ratio, the purity of your gold, and the gold price used for valuation. The valuation is based on the lower of the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. The applicable LTV ratio must be maintained throughout the loan tenure and may change as per RBI guidelines and the lender's policy.
The applicable LTV ratio varies based on the loan amount and determines the maximum loan value you may receive against your eligible gold.
