Lenders earlier used to finance up to 90% of the value of gold jewelry / ornaments. However going by the current RBI instructions, now the gold loan companies have been instructed not to lend beyond 60% of the value of the ornament. Depending on the LTV, the rate of interest ranges between 12% - 28% p.a. Gold loans typically are for the duration of one year and the duration can be further extended at the prevalent rate of that time. During the period you are supposed to pay the interest regularly.
