RBI 2025 Directions · clause-cited · no network — ever

Gold loan calculator — your maximum lawful loan under RBI’s tiered LTV caps (2025 Directions, in force since April 2026)

Know your ceiling before the branch quotes you. Since 1 April 2026, every bank, co-operative bank and NBFC is bound by the RBI’s tiered loan-to-value caps — 85% up to ₹2.5 lakh, 80% to ₹5 lakh, 75% above. girvi turns your ornaments into that number, checks the branch’s offer against it, and shows what the loan truly costs, bullet vs EMI.

Your ornaments

Only the metal counts — RBI Para 18 excludes stones, gems and making charges from lending value. Enter gross weight and deduct the stone/other-metal estimate; pick the BIS IS 1417 hallmark purity.

Reference rate — you type it

RBI Para 17: lenders must value your gold at the lower of the 30-day average closing price and the previous day’s closing price for its purity, as published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange — with unpublished purities taken from the nearest published purity, proportionately adjusted. girvi applies that proportionate arithmetic to the 22K rate you type. No live rate, by design — the no-network CSP is the guarantee that nothing you enter leaves this page.

Your lawful ceiling

Add items and a rate to see the ceiling.

85% 80% 75%

The ceiling is a negotiation maximum and legality check, not an entitlement — a lender may lawfully offer less. And because the tiers apply to your “total consumption loan amount per borrower” (Para 19), an existing gold loan with the lender can put you in a lower tier — your real ceiling may be lower than shown.

Para 20: the LTV cap must hold every day of the loan, not just at sanction. If the reference price falls far enough, your loan breaches the cap and the lender can demand top-up gold or part-payment.

The rules, clause by clause

    Questions people actually ask

    What is the maximum gold loan a bank can legally give me?
    Under the RBI 2025 Directions — binding on banks, co-operative banks and NBFCs since 1 April 2026 — consumption gold loans are capped at 85% of collateral value where your total loan is up to ₹2.5 lakh, 80% above that up to ₹5 lakh, and 75% beyond ₹5 lakh. The tier is chosen by your total consumption loan amount per borrower. girvi computes the exact ceiling, including the two plateau zones where more gold does not raise it.
    Does girvi use live gold prices or send my ornament details anywhere?
    No. You type the 22K reference rate yourself, and the page’s Content-Security-Policy (connect-src 'none') means the browser itself blocks every network call — the privacy claim is enforced, not promised. Your pledge list lives only in this browser’s localStorage.
    Why did my bank offer less than the ceiling girvi shows?
    The ceiling is a legal maximum, not an entitlement — lenders may lawfully offer less. They also value at their own IBJA-based reference price on sanction day, and an existing gold loan can push your aggregate into a lower-LTV tier.
    Why is a bullet-repayment gold loan capped lower than an EMI loan?
    Because for bullet loans the RBI computes LTV on the total amount repayable at maturity — the interest counts against the cap — and bullet consumption loans are capped at a 12-month tenor.
