The ability of gold to act as a cushion during financial emergencies has made it a popular investment. Whenever there is an economic crisis looming, you can opt for a secured gold loan, which is a loan against your gold commodities or jewellery. The Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan allows you to obtain a loan of up to Rs. 2 crores for your financial needs, with easy repayment options.

How Does Gold Loan Works?

Owning gold provides people with financial security because of its rising market value. Its underlying asset value can command a high price when sold or traded. Fortunately, you do not have to give up your gold ornaments in order to raise money today. Instead, you could opt for a gold loan. The loan amount offered is based on the gold loan per gram rate followed by the lender. You can get a maximum loan of up to 75% of the market value of your gold.

What you can get with a gold loan

  1. High loan amount
    Be it unprecedented medical costs or an important home renovation project. Get up to 75% of the value of your gold jewellery and pay for these hefty expenses without any hassle.

  2. Transparent gold assessment
    Your offered loan amount is decided based on the gold’s worth and purity. Your gold jewellery is assessed using our professional-grade carat metres to ensure its authenticity and purity, and give you the best offer possible.

  3. Easy repayment solutions
    You get a range of repayment options. You may choose to pay interest on a monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually basis as per your convenience. Please note that the principal amount and pending interest, if any, will be due for payment at the time of loan maturity.

  4. Industry-best safety protocols
    We know that your gold jewellery is not just a precious commodity. There are sentiments attached to these valued items. Therefore, we take the security of your heirlooms very seriously. Your gold valuables are kept in top-of-the-line vaults, with best-in-class security protocols to keep them safe.

  5. Part-release facility
    You do not need to wait for your complete loan to be paid off before releasing your valuables. You can release a portion of the jewellery that was pledged by paying back the equivalent amount.

  6. Complementary gold insurance
    Nobody wants to suffer an unforeseen loss of their valuables. To ensure this, our gold loan comes with complementary gold insurance. Under this policy, your assets are covered against damage, theft and misplacement.
