Availing of a gold loan or a loan against gold is one of the easiest and fastest ways to raise funds and fulfil any personal or business requirements. This secured financing option is available against competitive interest rates and simplified terms, making it convenient for borrowers.

To avail of this loan, individuals need to pledge their gold ornaments and fulfil a few simple gold loan eligibility criteria. Since the funds are available against the value of the gold pledged, gold loans do not impose any stringent eligibility requirements.

The funds under this financing option can be availed even by those who fail to maintain a high CIBIL score. Owing to the high equity of the asset pledged, individuals can enjoy simplified borrowing terms and finance their requirements instantly.

The gold loan eligibility requirements are as follows -

Salaried individuals/ self-employed professionals/businessman/traders/farmers and likes can avail the advance.
