Is it different from similar schemes floated by banks?
Yes it is different. RBI has given approval to banks that the price of gold sold by them can be marked up to 20% over the prevailing spot bullion price whereas in Muthoot Fincorp through its tie up with Rajesh Exports the maximum mark up on price is only 8%. The gold is sold at lowest rate when compared to Banks .None of the bankers offer buyback facility whereas Muthoot Fincorp repurchases the gold subject to conditions.
