Do different types of loans have varying loan-to-value standards?

Yes, different types of loans in India have varying Loan-to-Value (LTV) standards depending on the asset and risk involved:

  • Home Loans: LTV ratios range from 75% to 90%, depending on the loan size. Higher-value homes usually have lower LTV ratios for risk management.
  • Auto Loans: For new cars, LTV ratios can go up to 90%, while used cars typically have lower ratios due to higher depreciation.
  • Gold Loans: The RBI caps the LTV ratio at 75% of the gold’s market value to account for price fluctuations.
  • Personal Loans: LTV ratios are not applicable, as these are unsecured loans based on creditworthiness.
  • Loan Against Property (LAP): LTV ratios range from 60% to 70% to mitigate the risk of fluctuating real estate values.
  • Two-Wheeler Loans: LTV ratios are typically 85-95% for new bikes and lower for used ones.
  • Business Loans: LTV ratios can vary between 50-80% based on the type of collateral, such as property or machinery.

In summary, LTV standards vary based on asset type and risk, with secured loans tied to asset values and unsecured loans relying on borrower profiles.
