Key highlights of new, unified gold and silver loan rules
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has raised the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio for loan against gold and silver to 85% for loans up to Rs 2.5 lakh. This is part of RBI's new comprehensive set of rules for lending against gold and silver. The new rules, which will be effective from 1 April 2026, attempts to standardise and harmonise the existing guidelines and introduce new measures for better oversight, conduct, and consumer protection. Here are the key highlights of the new rules: Scope and purview of the rules: These rules apply to all commercial banks (excluding Payments Banks), primary (urban) and rural cooperative banks, and all Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), including Housing Finance Companies (HFCs). They cover loans for both consumption and income generation purposes where eligible gold or silver collateral is accepted. Clear credit policy: Lenders are required to have a clear credit policy that should stipulate limits for single borrower as well as for aggregate portfolio and maximum Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratios. The policy must also detail valuation standards, gold/silver purity norms, and documentation for priority sector lending. For loans exceeding ₹2.5 lakh, a detailed credit assessment, including repayment capacity, is now compulsory. Revised Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio: The directions introduce a tiered maximum LTV ratio for consumption loans: Up to ₹2.5 lakh: 85% Above ₹2.5 lakh up to ₹5 lakh: 80% Above ₹5 lakh: 75% This prescribed LTV ratio must be maintained throughout the loan tenor. Standardised valuation procedures: Lenders must have a uniform procedure for measuring the purity and net weight of gold and silver collaterals. The rules require the presence of the borrower during assaying, with all deductions and defects clearly explained and documented in a certificate provided to the borrower. No loan against ETFs, bullion: Lenders cannot offer loans against primary gold or silver (bullion, ETFs). One can pledge only up to 1 kg of gold ornaments and 10 kgs of silver ornaments for availing loan. Loans against coins are limited to 50 grams for gold and 500 grams for silver. The tenure for bullet repayment consumption loans is capped at 12 months, with renewals subject to credit assessment and payment of accrued interest. SoP for Storage, auction, etc: Strict guidelines have been laid out for the handling, storage, and surprise verification of collateral. The lenders have now been asked to provide adequate notice to borrowers through regional and national newspaper advertisements before auctioning the pledged gold or silver. The first auction must be physical and conducted in the same district as the lending branch. Reserve prices are set at a minimum of 90% of current value, decreasing to 85% if the first two auctions fail. Compensation and Unclaimed Collateral: Borrowers will be compensated for any damage or loss to pledged collateral attributable to the lender. In cases of delay by lenders in releasing pledged collateral after full repayment, compensation of ₹5,000 per day will be paid to the borrower beyond the prescribed seven working days.

RBI's next interest rate cut action likely in December
Reserve Bank of India may keep interest rates steady in August. However, further reduction is expected later this year. This follows a larger-than-expected cut aimed at boosting economic growth. Most institutions anticipate a rate cut in either October or December. The central bank will also lower the cash reserve ratio to inject liquidity. These measures surprised the markets. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to hold interest rates in August but possibly make yet another reduction later this year, following its greater-than-expected cut on Friday aimed at bolstering growth.A poll by ET showed that eight out of 10 institutions expect a rate cut either in October or December while two do not expect any reduction until December. All participants expect a pause in August. Nomura is the only participant anticipating a25 bps rate cut in the October and December policy reviews. The next meeting of the RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is scheduled for August 4-6. A basis point is 0.01 percentage RBI announced a 50 bps reduction in the key repo rate to 5.50% — against expectations of a 25 bps cut — and shifted its stance to 'neutral' from 'accommodative'.Since then, economists and market participants have been debating the extent of further rate cuts that the central bank may take and by when, given governor Sanjay Malhotra's statement that monetary policy was left with limited space to support growth after having reduced the repo rate by 100 bps since February. He added that the future course of action by the MPC will be data other factors could come into play later in the year. 'The combination of a 50 bps repo rate cut and a shift in stance to neutral is a signal that the space for policy easing has been largely exhausted,' Nomura said. 'However, the policy outlook depends on the macro outlook. Beyond an August pause, we expect the easing cycle to continue and still see 5.00% as the terminal rate.'Possible uncertainties include the June-September monsoon, US tariffs and their impact on growth and the potential for inflation to come in below projections. Despite challenges, there's room for further reduction in the RBI's repo rate, most participants said. The monsoon made landfall earlier than scheduled and while the weather office has said it will be above normal, there's been a lull in rain in some parts of the country since then. Other areas have been hit by severe RBI will also lower the cash reserve ratio by 50 bps to 3% in phases, starting September, to infuse Rs 2.5 lakh crore liquidity in the system. Both measures — the extent of the rate cut and the CRR reduction — caught the markets off guard. 'Everything that had been forecast for this calendar year happened in one policy,' a bond trader said, reflecting the market's mood after the June 6 monetary policy the governor's statement on the limited space to support growth, some economists said the RBI is not just responding to short-term data, but is also aiming to help the Indian economy grow at its full potential. Malhotra has said that the aspiration is to grow at 8%, more than 6.5% projected by the central bank for FY26.
