Attention gold loan borrowers! RBI's new rules to tackle irregularities

The Reserve Bank of India is tightening the rules for gold loans due to concerns like lack of transparency and improper risk assessment. The RBI has advised lenders to fix their practices.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is introducing stricter rules for gold loans. Many lenders rely on third-party agents for gold valuations and loan processing.
