RBI increases gold loan limit for UCBs to Rs 2 lakh

31 Oct 2014 Evaluate

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has raised the limit for urban co-operative banks (UCBs) to sanction loan against gold collateral to Rs 2 lakh from Rs 1 lakh at present under the bullet repayment scheme.

As per the bullet repayment scheme, the UCBs are allowed to sanction loan only on conditions that the period of loan shall not exceed 1 year from the date of sanction. Interest will become due for payment along with principal only at the end of 12 months from the date of sanction. Further, banks should maintain a Loan to Value (LTV) ratio of 75 per cent on the outstanding amount on an ongoing basis, failing which the loan will be treated as a Non Performing Asset.

The RBI’s notification further stated that UCBs should take necessary and usual safeguards and formulate suitable policy for lending against gold jewellery with the approval of their boards of directors.

In another announcement, Reserve Bank also directed urban co-operative banks to strictly adhere to the requirement of using their full name along with their logo or abridged name as a brand promotion exercise. Central bank noted that UCBs efforts towards brand building do not compromise with the rule of proper disclosure to the public. Earlier, a Standing Advisory Committee in 2006 had allowed UCBs to use logo or shorter names.
