- RBI policies: Changes in interest rates by the Reserve Bank of India can affect the demand for gold and influence its price.
- Local demand: During festivals, weddings, and other peak seasons, higher demand may lead to small price differences across jewellers in Bardhaman.

- International gold prices: The strongest influence on local rates; a global rise usually carries through to Bardhaman.
- USD-INR exchange rate: A weaker rupee makes imported gold pricier, even when global prices hold steady.
- RBI policy: Interest rate decisions shape how people invest; lower rates can lift gold demand, higher rates can dampen it.
- Local demand: Demand tends to climb during weddings and festivals, causing small price gaps between jewellers in the area.
- Global market conditions: Economic or political uncertainty often pushes investors toward gold, raising prices; stable conditions can ease them.

How does today's gold price in Bardhaman affect your gold loan amount?
The rate on the day your gold is assessed decides your loan amount, not last month's rate, and not what you originally paid. When gold prices in Bardhaman rise, the same jewellery can support a larger loan. When prices fall, the eligible amount decreases as well.
Gold prices in Bardhaman have moved today. Check your gold loan eligibility to see how much you can borrow right now.
What decides your eligible loan amount?
Your eligible loan amount depends on:
- Gold weight
- Gold purity
- The gold rate on the day of assessment
- The Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio
Only the pure gold content is assessed; stones, enamel, and other decorative elements on your jewellery aren't counted.
The final loan amount depends on the eligible LTV, the 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. The LTV ratio must stay within limits through the loan term and may be revised as per RBI guidelines and lender policy.
The loan amount is set using the applicable LTV ratio, which varies with loan size. Click here to know more.
