Valuation Method for Gold Collateral Used for Shriram Gold Loan
Shriram Finance uses a standardised process to assess the gold articles you pledge for loans, ensuring fairness, accuracy and compliance with RBI guidelines.
Step 01
Gold Examination: Once you present your gold at any of our branches, a certified appraiser will examine the gold jewellery in your presence, using safe techniques like sound, flexibility and acid tests. These checks confirm the authenticity and purity of your gold, without damaging it in any way.
Step 02
Calculating Gross and Net Gold Weight: Each item is weighed on an approved scale. If your jewellery contains stones, strings or other non-gold materials, their weight is subtracted to arrive at the net gold weight. All deductions and findings are explained in a valuation certificate.
Step 03
Determining Gold Value: The value of your gold is based on its purity and the latest market rates. We always use the lower amount from either the average price over the last 30 days or the previous day’s closing price, as published either by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd. (IBJA) or by a commodity exchange regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
Step 04
Calculating Your Loan Amount: Your eligible loan amount is determined by applying the RBI-prescribed Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio, which is up to 75% of your gold’s calculated worth. This LTV ratio is maintained throughout your loan tenure to ensure complete compliance with regulations.
Step 05
Security and Transparency: Once the loan is disbursed, your gold is securely packed and stored in our vaults. Periodic audits may be conducted for quality assurance and you will be informed if any issues are found. This transparent process ensures you receive a fair and accurate loan amount while keeping your gold safe and fully accounted for at every stage
Factors Affecting Gold Loan Eligibility
Beyond the basic gold loan eligibility criteria, these factors also play an important role:
