The recent draft RBI directions on loans against gold collateral are set to hit the asset growth of pure-play gold loan companies.

Gold-loan NBFCs set for rough ride after new RBI norms

The directions are aimed at harmonizing the regulatory framework across regulated entities and addressing differences in lending practices, thus creating a level playing field and structurally strengthening the sector.

The draft directions, issued last month, came in the backdrop of the central bank in September 2024 highlighting irregular practices amid a significant increase in the loan-against-gold portfolio of some lenders. It had then asked lenders to comprehensively review their policies, processes and practices to identify gaps and initiate remedial measures in a timebound manner.

Last fiscal, the combined loans against gold jewellery portfolio of banks and non-banks is estimated to have grown by over 50%; for banks alone, the business more than doubled, growing 104%, the agency said.
