What is the new rule of RBI about loans


The central bank increased risk weights for personal loans by 25 percentage points to 125%. This means that banks now have to allocate more capital to personal loans, which may cost borrowers more.

The Reserve Bank said the decision to tighten personal loan norms has been taken in view of the "higher growth in consumer credit and increasing dependence of NBFCs on bank loans". The central bank also said it was concerned about "risks associated with the rapid growth of unsecured personal loans".

The new norms will not apply to home loans, education loans, car loans or loans secured against gold and gold jewellery.

Due to the imposition of higher risk weightage, which means that banks' lending capacity is restricted in that segment, the risk weightage on loans to banks and non-banking financial institutions has been increased by 25 percentage points to 150 percentage points and 125 percentage points, respectively.

Recently, Reserve Bank Governor Shaktikanta Das pointed out that credit growth has increased in some sub-sections of the consumer credit segment, and banks are monitoring regulatory systems and risks. He advised that necessary safety measures should be taken to detect and correct them.

This gold price is not permanent, but when people think of a problem in the country, they buy gold first. It is good to buy as much as needed, but buying too much is foolish. When there is a famine, the things they buy are food, clothing, and money. If we don't have money, it is difficult to sell gold for urgent needs. Gold price Gold market crash history   Will there ever be a situation where gold , which has been rising very, very rapidly in a short period of time, will become a commodity? Studies on gold say that it may come. If we look at the price of gold over the past 50 years, rather than just 10 or 20 years, it seems that what you are saying has happened. That is, in September 1980, the price of 1 ounce of gold touched $666. 19 years later, in September 1999, the same 1 ounce of gold was sold for $255. A 62 percent decline. An ounce did not touch $666 again until 2007. That is, 27 years later. Next, in 2012, 1 ounce of gold touched $1,772. But, in just three ye...
