Gold rates directly affect the value of pledged gold and the loan amount you may be eligible to receive. A higher gold rate can increase the assessed value of the same weight and purity of gold.
The eligible loan amount changes with the daily market rate for gold a higher per-gram rate means a higher eligible loan amount for the same weight and purity.
How is gold loan eligibility calculated?
Gold loan eligibility depends on:
- Gold weight
- Gold purity
- Applicable gold rate
- Loan-to-value (LTV) ratio
Under gold loan eligibility, the valuation is based only on the intrinsic value of the gold. Stones and other embellishments are not considered.
The final loan amount depends on the eligible LTV, actual gold purity, and the lower of either 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.
