The exposure of a bank to a single NBFC that is predominantly engaged in lending against the collateral of gold jewelry (i.e. such loans comprising 50 percent or more of their financial assets), shall not exceed 7.5 percent of the bank’s capital funds (Tier I plus Tier II Capital).
Banks should have an internal sub-limit on their aggregate exposures to all NBFCs, having gold loans to the extent of 50 percent or more of their total financial assets, taken together. This sub-limit should be within the internal limit, where fixed by the banks for their aggregate exposure to all NBFCs put together.
