Check Your Gold Loan Eligibility

Planning to get a gold loan? If yes, the first step is to check the gold loan criteria.

Gold loan eligibility means a set of conditions you need to meet to get a gold loan. This usually includes age limit, purity standards, gold ownership, and more.

Knowing these in advance helps you prepare the necessary documents and ensure a smooth loan approval process with Manappuram Finance.

Your gold loan eligibility depends on factors such as the purity and weight of the gold, its assessed value and the applicable loan-to-value (LTV) limits under the selected scheme.

Factors Affecting Gold Loan Eligibility

  • Gold’s Value: Gold rates are volatile and subject to change based on market conditions. Your loan amount is calculated based on the current market price of your gold. To receive the best amount, you can apply when the gold prices are high.
  • Gold’s Purity: Higher purity gold (18-24 karats) leads to a higher loan amount and vice versa.
  • Loan-to-Value Ratio (LTV): This ratio is fixed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). It determines the loan amount to be provided against the gold. As per RBI norms, for the consumption loan*, the LTV is up to 85% for loans up to ₹2.5 lakh, 80% for loans above ₹2.5 lakh and up to ₹5 lakh, and 75% for loans above ₹5 lakh.
  • Repayment Capacity: A good and timely repayment history can increase your chances of faster loan approvals. For higher loan amounts (higher LTV), income proof is required as part of the assessment. Otherwise, income proof is not mandatory and depends on the selected loan option.
