Frequently asked question

Loan Features

What happens if a borrower is unable to repay the gold loan within the maximum tenure?

If a borrower fails to repay the gold loan within the agreed tenure, the lender may impose penalties or additional interest on the overdue amount. Continued non-repayment could lead to legal notices and, eventually, the auctioning of the pledged gold to recover the outstanding dues. Some lenders offer a grace period or restructuring options, but these come with extra charges. To avoid losing the pledged jewellery, borrowers should opt for repayment schedules that align with their financial capabilities.

With Bajaj Finance, you have the convenience of planning your gold loan through a tenure ranging from 1 day to 12 months, wherein you can choose to pay the gold loan interest monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly. It is important to note that principal and interest are to be paid post-mortality.

The tenure of a gold loan plays a crucial role in determining the applicable interest rate. Generally, shorter tenures come with lower interest rates, as the lender’s risk is minimised. On the other hand, opting for a longer tenure may result in slightly higher interest rates since the loan remains outstanding for an extended period, increasing the lender’s exposure. Additionally, a longer tenure means more interest accumulation over time, leading to a higher overall repayment amount. Borrowers should carefully choose their tenure based on their repayment capacity and financial planning.

With Bajaj Finance you can repay a part of your loan in advance or pay the entire amount at no extra cost.

The minimum tenure for a gold loan can start from as low as 1 day. It depends on the repayment option selected and allows borrowers to close the loan quickly without long term commitment or additional interest burden.
