What are the differences between the norms prescribed for Banks and NBFCs?

The recent LTV cap of 60% of the value of jewellery is applicable only to NBFCs. Gold loans granted by banks can be classified under agriculture for the purpose of priority sector, whereas the same loan granted by NBFC to the same borrower is not eligible to be classified under the similar category

Risk weightage of gold loans given by banks with LTV of less than 75% is zero, whereas the same loan given by an NBFC carries a risk weightage of 100%. Capital Adequacy Ratio for banks is only 9% with a minimum Tier-I capital of 6%. For gold loan NBFCs, it is 15% with minimum Tier-I capital of 12%.
