Advantages of taking a loan on gold

Here are a few advantages of getting a gold loan to manage your expenses.


Make idle assets work for you

Unlike a fixed deposit, which pays you dividends over time, gold sitting in your locker does not help you in any way. When you take a gold loan, you can put this idle asset to use and get a high loan ranginf from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 2 crore against it.

When you apply for a gold loan, your jewellery, ornament or coin is weighed and valued as per the prevailing gold rates, not the rate at which you purchased it. Since gold is an appreciating asset, the loan amount you are offered is usually higher than the cost of the gold. Bajaj Finance considers lower of the previous day’s closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange to evaluate the loan amount against your gold.

Get funds faster

It is very easy to apply for and get a gold loan from Bajaj Finance. This makes it ideal when you need funds quickly, and do not want to pay the higher interest rates that come with unsecured loans.

To get the gold loan benefits, you simply have to fill out an online application form. After this, we will contact you to set an appointment at our nearest gold loan branch. You will need to take your gold there for evaluation. The process of evaluation itself only takes a few minutes.

Once your offer is ready based on the value of your jewellery, ornaments or coins the funds are disbursed to your bank account often in just 1 branch visit*. Additionally, you do not need to maintain a high credit score or provide extensive proof of income to get this loan. This makes the paperwork process much faster.

Repay at your ease

With us, you can avail a pre-payment option from the multiple repayment options as per your convenience. You can choose to repay gold loan interest on a monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual 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.

Low interest rates

Low interest rates on a gold loan can impact your borrowing experience significantly. With Bajaj Finance, for instance, you can access funds at competitive rates, starting from just 9.50% to 24.25% p.a., making it an affordable solution for your financial needs. This can help you save on interest costs, manage your expenses, and ensure a smooth repayment experience. 

Minimal paperwork

No credit score dependency

Unlike unsecured loans, gold loans are not solely dependent on your credit history or CIBIL Score. Your gold acts as security for the loan, making lenders more willing to extend credit despite no credit history or low credit score.

Tax benefits on gold loan

Gold loan not only helps you manage your urgent needs, but also comes with several tax benefits. However, the tax benefits you may get depends on the usage of the funds and the quantum of gold loan utilised. Taking a gold loan can get you Income Tax exemptions for purchase of residential property, home improvement, and more.
