Your gold loan, explained.

A loan against your gold jewellery or coins, from a bank or an NBFC: what your gold was valued at, whether the loan is within RBI's limit, what each way of repaying costs, what a fall in the gold price means, and getting your gold back on time, worked out by code from your own pledge card.

Myra's most important observations

What Myra finds

In rupees, from the documents.

On the samples: money you may be owed, could save, or have at risk. Each figure is a finding's own, with its calculation and source; options are never added together.

01 · The gold price

If gold falls, what happens?

Move the price fall, today's price, what's owed and the weight. RBI's limit is kept throughout the loan. Free, no sign-in.

Assumptions & limits. 32 g of 22-carat gold, valued at 22 carat at the price a gram you set (lenders use the lower of the 30-day average and the previous day's price, so their figure can differ). RBI's limit for a loan this size is 85% of the gold's value, kept throughout the loan. Above the limit, the lender can ask you to repay part of the loan or pledge more gold.
03 · Ways to repay

EMI, monthly interest or bullet?

The same loan, three ways: what each costs in interest, and what you pay each month and at the end.

EMI: interest₹24,038
Interest monthly: interest₹43,200
Bullet: interest₹43,200

On these figures, EMIs cost the least in interest. EMIs cost less because each one repays part of the loan; interest monthly and a bullet keep the whole amount borrowed until the end.

Assumptions & limits. ₹2,40,000 at 18% a year for 12 months. EMI: a fixed amount each month that repays the loan as it goes. Interest monthly: ₹3,600 a month on the full amount, then ₹2,40,000 at the end. Bullet: everything at the end, simple interest. Fees and any late-payment rate aren't included; from 1 Apr 2026 a bullet loan runs at most 12 months.
