The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is in charge of gold loan laws in India. When it comes to providing gold loans to consumers, the RBI has strict guidelines. The gold loan regulations prohibit banks from charging creditworthy consumers a greater interest rate on Gold loans than they do customers borrowing money from the bank on specific terms and circumstances.
The gold loan regulations also allow banks to charge a margin on gold loans to consumers over and above the RBI's base lending rate. As a result, India's gold loan laws are projected to strengthen in 2022.
The PMLA has already been updated to cover jewelry. India's gold loan restrictions are scheduled to be amended to further restrict gold loans to those with a recognized precious metals dealer. It's also possible that the government would outright prohibit gold loans, as other countries have done. This would greatly influence India's economy and gold lending business.
Over the next several years, India's gold lending restrictions are expected to shift dramatically. India's proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime will bring gold loan restrictions under its scope in 2022. The GST will be a single national tax that will replace the current value-added tax (VAT) and other state taxes. As a result, the GST will significantly reduce the number of taxes imposed in India and harmonize the country's tax laws.
