Gold Loan Management Software: The Complete Guide for Indian NBFCs

India's gold loan market is one of the world's largest — with over ₹5 lakh crore in outstanding gold loans across NBFCs and banks. For gold loan NBFCs and Nidhi companies, gold loan management is the core business — and it requires purpose-built software that understands the unique complexity of this product.

Why Gold Loans Are Operationally Complex

Daily Rate Dependency

Unlike other loans, gold loan value is tied to the daily gold price. A significant drop in gold prices can push loans into LTV breach — requiring immediate action from the NBFC.

LTV Ratio Compliance

RBI mandates that gold loan LTV cannot exceed 75% (for NBFCs). When gold prices fall, existing loans may breach this limit — requiring the NBFC to call for additional collateral or prepayment.

Interest Compounding

Gold loans often use monthly compounding interest. Calculating compound interest accurately across thousands of accounts requires automation.

Auction Process

When gold loan borrowers default, the NBFC must follow a defined auction process — sending notices, publishing auction dates, and conducting the auction in compliance with RBI guidelines. Documentation is critical.

NPA Classification

Gold loans that are 90+ DPD must be classified as NPA, provisioned, and reported to RBI — all within strict timelines.
