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.
