Embrace the financial freedom and convenience with this groundbreaking update!
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has recently introduced new guidelines for gold loans, Here are the Key points.
- EMI PAYMENT PLANS: Gold loan providers and banks are now mandated to introduce Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) payment options for gold loans.
- TERM LOANS: Lenders are looking into providing term loans secured by gold, allowing borrowers to repay in installments rather than paying the full amount at the end of the loan period.
- FIXING ISSUES: The RBI has identified multiple problems in the gold loan process, including improper sourcing, inaccurate valuation, inadequate due diligence, weak loan usage tracking, unclear auction practices, and poor LTV ratio management.
- REPAYMENT ANALYSIS: Lenders are required to assess the borrower’s repayment potential, moving beyond depending only on the pledged gold.
- PARTIAL SETTLEMENTS: Relying on partial repayments for gold loan extensions has been flagged as a risky approach, increasing the chances of missed payments later.
These changes are designed to make gold loans more organized and help borrowers maintain better financial stability.
