The gold rate on the day your gold is assessed plays an important role in determining your eligible loan amount. When gold prices are higher, the value of your pledged gold also increases, which may result in a higher eligible loan amount. If gold prices fall, the eligible loan amount may also reduce.
What decides your eligible loan amount?
Your eligible loan amount depends on 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 gold are not included. The loan amount is determined using the applicable LTV ratio, which varies by loan size.
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.
