......After the Reserve Bank's new rule, NBFCs changed the way gold is valued to include making charges and also tax. This is how it used to work: if the gold content in a piece of jewellery is valued at Rs 100, a loan of Rs 70 was typically possible. Now, to the Rs 100 are added making charges (say, about Rs 10) and the VAT (12%). So, the loan is given on the replacement cost of the jewellery — Rs 123 (Rs 100 + Rs 10 + Rs 13). And 60% of Rs 123 is greater than 70% of Rs 100; so the new norm doesn't look bad......
