According to draft report prepared by a working group set up by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), under the chairmanship of K U B Rao, an adviser to RBI's department of economic and policy research, has suggested a review of the cap on the loan-to-value (LTV) of gold-loan non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) to 75%.

Currently, the ratio for gold loans by NBFCs is capped at 60%. This means for gold worth Rs 100 offered as collateral, lenders can give loans up to Rs 60.
