The gold price in Panvel can affect how much you may borrow against your gold. Lenders check the value of your gold when it is assessed. The price you paid when you bought the jewellery does not decide the loan amount. If the gold value is higher, the same gold may support a larger loan amount. If the value falls, the eligible amount may also be lower.
What decides your eligible loan amount?
Your gold loan amount mainly depends on:
Only the actual gold content is counted during valuation. Stones, enamel, beads, and other decorative parts are not included. Lenders also do not simply use today's headline rate. They use whichever is lower between the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. This protects you from a sudden price spike inflating things unrealistically and protects the lender from the opposite.
Please note, the maximum LTV eligible for a loan depends on the loan amount and cannot be more than the limits given. To know more, click here.
