Tips to Get The Highest Agriculture Gold Loan Amount from SBI Bank

• SBI Bank accepts both kinds of jewellery that are hallmarked as well as non-hallmarked jewellery for availing of a gold loan. You can get a higher amount as your loan if you pledge hallmark jewellery. 
• The bank adjusts the price of gold based on its purity. Therefore always try and borrow money against the higher purity jewellery as it will give you the highest amount for gold loan.
• SBI would then calculate the total weight of the jewellery to calculate the amount that you would get as a loan. So, make sure you choose to pledge jewellery that has minimal stones and gems and more gold. This is because having more stones would reduce the weight of the gold present in the jewellery. Most of the diamond jewellery is usually made in 16-18 carat of gold and hence, would result in you availing a very low gold loan per gram.
• Try your best to get the maximum LTV on the value for gold. The bank is allowed by the RBI to demand a maximum LTV of up to 75% to calculate the exact amount of gold loan that you would be eligible for.

ILLUSTRATION: The loan amount eligibility is decided on the basis of purity of gold, LTV and weight of gold. Suppose Mr A and his two friends Mr B and Mr C own different amounts of gold with varying purity. Mr A has 70 gram of gold with a purity of 18 carats. Mr B has 60 gram of gold with a purity of 20 carats and Mr C has 50 grams of gold with purity or 22 carats. They approach SBI Bank to avail of a gold loan. The price applied to calculate their gold loan amount eligibility based on a maximum LTV of 75% will vary by the purity of gold and hence, will result in varying gold loan eligibility.
