🧩 RBI’s Stricter Norms for Gold Loans – 2025 Update

✅ 1. 75% Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio

RBI now mandates that the maximum LTV for gold loans is capped at 75%. This means:

• If your gold is worth ₹1,00,000, you can only get up to ₹75,000 as a loan.

• This move reduces risk for both borrowers and lenders during gold price fluctuations.

• 
  

🔐 Vizzve Advantage: We provide a real-time valuation and ensure you get maximum value under RBI norms.

✅ 2. Mandatory Gold Purity & Ownership Verification

Before disbursing a loan, lenders must:

• Verify the purity of the gold (e.g., 22K, 24K).

• Ensure ownership using documents or customer declaration.

This reduces fraud and strengthens legal standing in case of disputes.

💡 Vizzve Process: We conduct instant gold testing and require minimal documentation for ownership proof — hassle-free and secure.

✅ 3. End-Use Monitoring of Loan Funds

RBI has advised lenders to monitor how loan proceeds are used, especially to prevent:

• Money laundering

• Financing of unlawful activities

• Unintended commercial speculation

•
