What Is Per Gram Rate For Gold Loan?
A per gram rate refers to the amount you can borrow for every gram of gold that you pledge. This rate depends on a variety of factors such as the purity of gold and the weight of the gold item. At the same time, a 30-day average of gold prices for that quality of gold is another factor accounted for by the financier.
Let’s understand this calculation through an example.Suppose you own 50 gms of 24-carat gold, and the per gram rate of this gold is ₹3,000. This means that the value of your gold is ₹1,50,000 and you can get a loan of up to 75% of this amount, i.e. ₹1,12,500 against it.
Factors Affecting Per Gram Rate for Gold Loan
Apart from the purity and weight of the gold, the market rate of gold in your region will be a primary factor that affects the per gram rate for gold loans. Due to changes in demand, the gold prices keep fluctuating across India. Taxes and transportation costs may also affect the gold prices for the day. The gold rates change every day, thereby affecting the gold loan per gram rate.
For example, if you are applying for a gold loan in Maharashtra on a day when the gold price is ₹4,800 per gm and possess 50 gms of gold, you can avail of ₹1,80,000 as a gold loan (75% of ₹2,40,000).
