Thus, the loan amount is solely based on the borrower's desired weight of the gold to pledge and its purity. Ideally, financial institutions can offer up to 75% of the value of the gold as a loan. However, before applying for a gold loan, you must check with your desired lender for the Loan to Value (LTV) ratio.
