Why gold jewellery is a trusted collateral for quick loans in India

In India, gold jewellery is viewed as a highly valuable asset, much like land or property. Gold is often cherished as heirlooms passed down for generations. However, it is not just because of their beauty or status symbol that they are prized. It is also because gold can serve as collateral for a loan, making it a valuable resource during financial emergencies.

When you pledge gold for a loan, you can use the amount for any immediate need you may have. Unlike other secured loans, gold loans are ideal for fulfilling various planned or unplanned expenses. It could range from financing your child's higher education, covering medical emergencies, to getting some home repair done.

With Bajaj Finance, you can easily get a quick loan starting from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 2 crore, in exchange of your 18-22 karat gold jewellery or ornaments. You can also pledge gold coins up to 24 karat purity to avail the loan. 
 

Why pledge gold for money?

If you own gold jewellery and are wondering if it is a good idea to take a loan against it, read on to discover five major reasons to take a gold loan:

1. Low interest rate

A significant benefit of taking out a gold loan is that it usually offers a lower interest rate compared to unsecured loans such as personal loans. This is because the gold serves as collateral for the lender, lowering the level of risk involved. Bajaj Finance offers gold loan interest rate ranging from 9.50% to 24% per annum, making it an excellent choice for obtaining funds without the added burden of high interest rates.

2. No part-prepayment or foreclosure fee

You can repay a part of your gold loan in advance or pay the entire amount at no extra charges, which further reduces the overall loan servicing expenditure.

3. Multiple repayment options

With gold loans, you have the flexibility of choosing from multiple repayment options. One option is to pay the entire interest amount at the beginning of the loan tenure and settle the remaining principal later. Alternatively, you can select monthly, quarterly, or yearly interest payments and pay off the principal amount at the end of the loan tenure.

4. Free insurance of gold

Gold loans come with a free insurance of gold. Your pledged gold is insured under a complementary insurance against theft, burglary, fire at branch and misplacement. 

5. Easy part release facility

With our gold Loan part release facility, you can repay a part of your loan and take part of your gold jewellery, ornaments, or coins back before the end of your loan tenure.

Pro-tip: Do not let your gold sit idle—tap into its value with a gold loan that suits your needs. Apply for a gold loan today!
