- Current 22K rate in Palakkad: ₹13,810 per gram
- Value = 40 × ₹13,810 = ₹5,52,400
This gives you the current market value of your gold. To find out how much loan your gold qualifies for, use the calculated value to check your gold loan eligibility.

How does the gold rate in Palakkad today affect your gold loan amount?
The gold rate in Palakkad today directly affects your gold loan amount. Higher gold prices can increase the value of your pledged gold and may help you qualify for a higher loan amount, while lower prices may reduce your borrowing capacity.
What decides your eligible loan amount?
Your gold loan eligibility depends on:
- How much your gold weighs
- How pure it is (karat value)
- The applicable gold rate on assessment day
- The Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio set by the lender
Stones, enamel, or any decorative work on your jewellery are not counted. Only the actual gold content is valued.
Lenders do not simply use today's headline rate. They use whichever is lower — the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. This protects both you and the lender from sudden price swings.
