What is the gold loan process?
A gold loan is a secured loan where you pledge your gold jewellery, ornaments, or coins as collateral. We evaluate your gold's purity and weight to determine its assessed value, which forms the basis of your loan amount.
As per RBI's tiered LTV structure, you can borrow up to 85% of your gold's value for loans up to Rs. 2.5 lakh, up to 80% for loans between Rs. 2.5 lakh and Rs. 5 lakh, and up to 75% for loans between Rs. 5 lakh and Rs. 2 crore.
We value your gold in your presence, using the lower of the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price, published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. You repay the loan, including interest, within the agreed tenure to get your gold back.
With Bajaj Finance Gold Loan, you can borrow from Rs. 5,000 up to Rs. 2 crore, with low interest rates starting at 9.50% and going up to 24.25% p.a. Your pledged gold stays insured against theft, burglary, fire at the branch, and misplacement throughout your loan tenure.
Documentation required for gold loan application
Applying for a gold loan requires minimal documentation, making the process swift and hassle-free. You only need any one of your basic KYC documents for gold loan, such as Aadhaar card, Voter ID, passport, driving licence, NREGA job card or letter from the National Population Registration. The simplicity of the documentation process is one of the reasons gold loans are a preferred choice for quick financial assistance in India.
Before you pledge your gold, know your options. Check your gold loan eligibility and choose the right amount and tenure.
