- Evaluation of shares: The lender will evaluate the shares that the borrower wants to pledge as collateral. The lender will consider the value of the shares, the market conditions, and the risks involved.
- Loan amount: Based on the evaluation of the shares, Bajaj Finance will determine the maximum loan amount that can be provided. Bajaj Finance offers loan up to 50% of the market value of the shares.
