India’s gold loan market is expanding rapidly, projected to reach USD 124.45 billion by 2029. While this growth brings opportunity, it also increases risks such as fake or substandard gold, valuation errors, branch-level malpractices, and regulatory non-compliance. Internal audit teams in NBFCs and banks play a vital role in managing these risks—but manual or semi-digital audit practices often fall short. Traditional approaches involve multiple manual handoffs in data handling, communication, and reporting. These delays extend the resolution of issues, such as excess valuation, from 21–60 days, while also increasing costs, complexity, and the likelihood of errors.
