What is a loan against jewellery?

A loan against jewellery is a secured financial option where individuals can borrow money by pledging their gold jewellery, ornaments, and coins as collateral. It is an efficient way to access funds without selling your precious assets. Bajaj Finance offers this facility, enabling borrowers to meet their urgent financial needs, whether for personal expenses, medical emergencies, or home repairs.


This loan type is particularly advantageous because it offers quick disbursal, minimal documentation, and multiple repayment options. The loan amount is determined by the purity and weight of the gold jewellery pledged. Typically, you can get up to 85% of the gold's value as the loan amount, adhering to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations. 

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


1. For loans up to Rs. 2.5 lakh = LTV 85%

2. For loans between more than Rs. 2.5 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh = LTV 80%

3. For loans from more than Rs. 5 lakh up to Rs. 2 crore = 75%


One of the key benefits is that you retain ownership of your jewellery. Once you repay the loan amount along with the interest, your gold is returned to you in its original form. Bajaj Finance ensures the safety of pledged gold by storing it in secure vaults during the loan tenure.


With low interest rates, a loan against jewellery is an affordable and accessible way to meet financial requirements. Whether you need funds for education, or a wedding, this type of loan provides a practical solution. The process is straightforward, making it ideal for those seeking immediate financial assistance without lengthy procedures or credit score constraints.

How is the value of gold jewellery calculated for a loan?

When you apply for a gold loan, the valuation of your jewellery plays a key role in deciding the loan amount. Bajaj Finance determines this value using a standardised approach by considering the lower of the previous day’s closing price or the 30-day average closing price of gold, as published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated exchange. This method, along with the assessed purity and weight of your gold, ensures a fair, consistent, and transparent valuation process.


The first step involves assessing the purity of the gold. The jewellery is examined by certified evaluators who use advanced techniques, such as karat meters or acid tests, to verify its purity. Non-gold elements like stones or additional embellishments are excluded from the valuation process.


Once the purity is confirmed, the weight of the gold is measured. The net weight, after deducting any non-gold components, is then considered. The lender applies the prevailing market rate for gold, which is typically based on the daily bullion rate. This ensures the valuation reflects the current market trends.


This process ensures that you receive a fair and accurate loan amount based on your gold’s value. With us, the valuation process is swift and transparent, offering you the confidence and convenience to meet your financial needs without selling your precious assets.
