Why consider a gold loan for wedding expenses?
A gold loan can help you meet wedding expenses by using eligible gold jewellery, ornaments, or coins as collateral instead of selling them. Bajaj Finance Gold Loan lets eligible borrowers access funds based on the gold’s purity, net weight, assessed value and applicable LTV limits.
You can apply for a loan amount from Rs. 5,000 up to Rs. 2 crore, subject to eligibility and applicable terms. Eligible collateral includes 18-22 karat gold jewellery and ornaments, and gold coins up to 24 karat. Your gold is assessed in your presence and securely stored during the loan tenure. Once you repay the applicable dues and complete the loan closure process, your pledged gold can be released as per the applicable terms. Your gold stays with us in secure, insured storage for your entire loan tenure, and you get it back once you repay your loan in full.
What can you use a gold loan for wedding expenses on?
You can use your gold loan amount for wedding-related costs such as venue booking, catering, decoration, photography, and outfits. Bajaj Finance pays out your loan amount as a lump sum, so you can plan and pay for these costs directly.
If unexpected costs come up during your wedding preparations, you can use part of your loan amount to cover them, instead of dipping into your savings
