Gold loan without purchase bills: What you need to know
How to get a jewellery loan without an invoice?
Due to its numerous benefits, such as an attractive gold loan interest rate, quick processing, convenient repayments, and more, it is an ideal solution for diverse financial needs. However, a major concern arises when obtaining such loans because lenders want to ensure the legitimacy of the pledged gold items to avoid legal issues.
Nevertheless, you can still apply for a gold loan by pledging your eligible gold, even without invoices. Here are the steps to get funds against gold:
- First, fill out a gold loan application form online or visit your nearest branch.
- Submit the necessary gold loan documents for verification.
- Get your 18-22 karat gold jewellery and ornaments evaluated to get the maximum value.
- You can also pledge gold coins up to 24 karat purity.
- Select a suitable loan tenure as per your convenience and submit the final application.
- Once terms are agreed upon, your loan will be disbursed post approval within as little as one branch visit*.
A gold loan without a jewellery bill is based on the gold's value, assessed by an independent appraiser. The report includes a declaration of ownership and purity, and the loan amount is determined by the weight and purity of the gold ornaments and a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, usually set at up to 85%, as per the RBI guidelines.
Please note, the maximum LTV eligible for a loan depends on the loan amount and cannot be more than the limits given. To know more, click here.

How to apply for a gold loan without a bill
Applying for a Bajaj Finance Gold Loan without a bill is straightforward, as gold loan processing and disbursement happen quickly compared to other financial products. This means that if you have genuine and valuable gold items, you can access higher loan amounts, without strict eligibility criteria or extensive documentation.
When pledging gold items without bills or invoices, a slightly different valuation process applies. Lenders use a combination of expert judgement and technology to evaluate the jewellery accurately. Valuation experts assess the quality and overall value of the gold, categorising it as soldered gold jewellery or solid gold jewellery. They also use an XRF machine to check purity precisely, ensuring you get a fair loan amount even without the original bill.
Understanding the value of gold
As per experts, solid gold ornaments are easy to evaluate compared to soldered ones as the latter includes gemstones, intricate designs, etc. Therefore, the sanctioned amount for a gold loan without an invoice will be based on the applicable gold rate of pledged items and not on the precious stones on the gold item. Bajaj Finance considers lower between the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. This protects you from a sudden price spike inflating things unrealistically and protects the lender from the opposite.
Experts use the following formula mentioned below to evaluate the value of gold:
Gold Value = Weight of gold (in grams) × Purity of gold (%) × Prevailing gold rate per gram
Sample calculation: Suppose you pledge a gold item weighing 20 grams, with 22K purity (91.6% pure), and the current gold rate is Rs. 6,500 per gram (for 22K gold).
- Gold Value = 20 grams × 91.6% × Rs. 6,500
- Gold Value = 20 × 0.916 × 6,500
- Gold Value = Rs. 1,19,080
The lender then offers a loan amount as a percentage of this value (based on the applicable loan-to-value or LTV ratio set by RBI guidelines), rather than the full valuation amount.
Apart from these, you must also research the gold loan rate per gram before applying for the loan to get maximise value.
One of the major concerns involved when opting for a gold loan without an invoice is its security and safety. However, with reputed lenders like Bajaj Finance, you do not have to worry about your jewellery as it is kept in highly secure vaults under constant e-surveillance.
