I had taken a gold loan a year ago and now the bank says I have to give more gold for the loan as gold prices are falling. What should I do?
—S R Mutthu
The loan amount depends on the value of the collateral you provide to the bank. It is true that the collateral value has dipped in the last year. It is suggested to either provide more collateral by way of gold to the bank or repay a part of the loan from money from other sources. If neither of the steps is taken, the bank may classify your loan as an NPA which will negatively affect your credit score.
