RBI bars new gold loans over assaying and cash lending breaches
IIFL Finance Ltd (gold loan business) · NBFC / gold loans
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Document authenticity / direct pull
Independent assay reports would differ from certified purity.
Can mislead when: The company can refuse consent, and a refusal is itself a flag. Some banks and co-op banks are not on AA yet.
Operating-metric verification
Cash disbursal share and LTV levels would exceed limits.
Can mislead when: Contract staff do not appear in EPFO. Vahan access needs licensed APIs. Some businesses have no physical trace.
Governance signals
Absent auditor and management response would flag.
Can mislead when: Private companies file late, so these signals are lagging. Kubr uses them to support other flags, not to prove anything alone.
Regulatory & litigation records
Prior RBI supervisory observations would appear on record.
Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
