Gold Loan Eligibility and Documents

Applying for a Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan becomes simple when you understand the basic eligibility requirements. The gold you pledge must be genuine jewellery within the accepted purity range, as purity directly impacts valuation and the eligible loan amount. Only gold jewellery, ornaments, and coins are accepted as collateral. Gold, bars, and ETFs, etc. are not eligible. Meeting these criteria helps ensure proper gold assessment and smooth loan processing without delays. 

To be eligible, you must be an Indian citizen and submit valid KYC documents for identity and address verification. Applicants between 21 and 80 years can apply, subject to verification. Only 18-22 karat gold jewellery and ornaments is accepted, as purity determines the eligible loan amount. You can pledge gold coins upto 24 karat karat gold purity owned by you as collateral.

LTV (Loan to Value)

The maximum LTV eligible for consumption loans per borrower depends on the loan amount and cannot be more than the limits given:

Please note: 

• At Bajaj Finance, we offer gold-backed loans with proportional valuation, quick access, and transparency. Loans above ₹2.5 lakh undergo credit checks, and bullet repayment loans consider total payable amounts upfront.
• Loans are not provided for buying gold in any form, including primary gold, jewellery, coins, or gold-backed financial products such as ETFs or mutual funds, nor against primary gold or similar financial assets.
• Valuation considers only intrinsic gold value; stones and embellishments are excluded.

• Borrowers or legal heirs must be informed of any loss or issues and the compensation process. Delays in collateral release due to lender fault attract ₹5,000 per day compensation.

Key points to consider before availing gold loans at Bajaj Finance 

Before you avail a gold loan from Bajaj Finance, it is important to understand a few essential aspects to make a confident financial decision. First, ensure that your gold jewellery meets the accepted purity range of 18-22 karat, as purity directly impacts the loan amount you may receive. Keep your basic KYC documents ready to avoid delays during verification. One of the advantages is that approval is largely based on the value of your pledged gold rather than your credit score or income proof. You should also carefully review the applicable interest rates, repayment options, tenure, and any associated charges to plan your repayment comfortably. Additionally, your pledged gold is stored in secure, insured vaults, ensuring safety and peace of mind throughout the loan period.
