How does the loan-to-value (LTV) limit work on a long-term gold loan?
As per RBI's tiered LTV structure, the maximum LTV depends on your loan amount:
| Loan amount | Maximum LTV |
|---|
| Up to Rs. 2.5 lakh | 85% |
| More than Rs. 2.5 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh | 80% |
| More than Rs. 5 lakh to Rs. 2 crore | 75% |
The LTV ratio must be maintained throughout your loan tenure. For bullet repayment loans, the LTV calculation includes both principal and interest payable at maturity.
Repayment options for a long-term gold loan
You can repay your gold loan based on one of two structures:
- Bullet repayment: Principal and interest due are paid together at maturity
- Regular repayment: Interest is paid at half-yearly intervals as per the repayment schedule, with the principal due at maturity
This structure helps you manage your cash flow efficiently while retaining your gold throughout the loan tenure. Review the gold loan repayment option that fits your finances before applying.

Please note: We also do not simply use today's headline rate. We 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.
