How the gold price is calculated in Chidambaram

The gold rate in Chidambaram is worked out using the prevailing market rate, gold purity and weight. International prices, the USD-INR exchange rate, import costs and local market conditions can also affect the rate.

For example, if 8 grams of 22K gold is priced at Rs. 9,500 per gram:

8 × Rs. 9,500 = Rs. 76,000

This is the basic gold value. Making charges and applicable taxes may increase the final jewellery price.

Please note, gold loan valuation uses lower of the previous day’s closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange to evaluate the loan amount against your gold.

How do gold prices in Chidambaram affect gold loans?

The gold rate today in Chidambaram can affect the value considered for a gold loan. However, the eligible loan amount also depends on the gold's purity, net eligible weight and applicable LTV limit. The gold is valued using the applicable valuation method before the loan amount is determined.


What decides your eligible loan amount?

The eligible gold loan amount depends on the value of the gold you pledge and the applicable lending limits. Key factors include:

  • Gold purity: Higher purity can affect the assessed value of the gold.
  • Net eligible weight: The weight of the gold is considered after excluding stones and other non-gold parts.
  • Gold valuation: The applicable valuation method is used to assess the gold.
  • LTV limit: The eligible loan amount is subject to the applicable Loan-to-Value limit.

The applicable gold loan interest rate and charges also affect your overall repayment cost, so check these before applying.
