Why consider a gold loan? 

Facing a financial crunch or need funds for an urgent expense? A gold loan lets you unlock the value of gold you already own, giving you quick access to funds without the hassle of unsecured borrowing. It has become one of the most preferred credit options in India, offering a simple way to meet both planned and unplanned expenses.


Here are five compelling reasons why you should consider a gold loan to meet your financial needs 

 

1. Higher loan amounts

A gold loan lets you borrow money by pledging eligible gold jewellery, ornaments, or coins as collateral. Bajaj Finance offers gold loans starting from Rs. 5,000 and going up to Rs. 2 crore, depending on factors such as the weight and purity of your gold and the applicable gold rate on the day of evaluation. The amount you can borrow is also determined by the RBI’s tiered loan-to-value (LTV) limits, which allow you to borrow up to 85% of the eligible gold’s value. This can make a gold loan a useful option if you need funds but are concerned about qualifying for other types of credit due to a less-than-perfect credit score. The maximum LTV eligible for a loan depends on the loan amount and cannot be more than the limits given. To know more, click here.


2. Lower interest rates

Since a gold loan is secured against your gold, it typically comes with lower interest rates than unsecured loans like personal loans or credit cards. With Bajaj Finance, gold loan interest rates start at just 9.50% per annum.


3. Multiple repayment options

A gold loan gives you the freedom to choose how you repay. You can pay only the interest monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually, with the principal and any pending interest due at maturity. This flexibility helps you manage your finances without added stress.

4. Quick and simple processing

Gold loans are known for fast, hassle-free processing with minimal documentation requirements, often letting you access funds in a single branch visit*. You jus have to be an Indian citizen aged between 21 to 80 years, and have 18-22 karat gold jewellery or ornaments to pledge. You can also pledge coins up to 24 karat purity. For documentation, you would just need any one of your basic KYC documents like Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, passport, driving licence, NREGA job card, or an NPR letter.


5. Free insurance of pledged gold 

Your pledged gold is kept in secure vaults under 24x7 surveillance, insured against theft, burglary, fire, or misplacement. As per RBI norms, your gold is returned within 7 working days of full repayment, and you can foreclose your loan at no additional cost.


A gold loan offers higher loan amounts, low interest rates, flexible repayment, quick processing, and complete safety for your gold — making it a reliable choice whenever you need funds.
