Why Should I Take a Gold Loan

What are the benefits of taking a gold loan?

When an unexpected expense comes up, selling your gold is rarely the first choice. A gold loan lets you access funds quickly by pledging your gold jewellery, ornaments, or coins as collateral — without giving up ownership of what you have worked hard to accumulate.

It is one of the simplest ways to raise funds at short notice. Since the loan is secured against your gold, approval is faster, documentation is minimal, and you can borrow up to 85% of your gold's assessed value as loan. For anyone facing an urgent financial need, a gold loan offers a practical and accessible solution.
 

Top features and benefits of gold loan

There are several reasons that make a loan against gold jewellery, ornaments and coins, a smart financing solution when you need funds. Bajaj Finance offers gold loans at attractive rate of interest with complete transparency – there are no hidden charges. Read on to know some of the top features and benefits of taking a gold loan.

Lower interest rate

Being a secured loan, gold loans are generally subject to lower rates of interest as compared to other financing options such as personal loans, home loans, or other secured loans. You can get a gold loan ranging from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 2 crore to manage your planned or urgent needs. This loan comes with an attractive gold loan interest rate starting from 9.50% to 24% per annum.  

Faster processing

Gold loans are easy to avail with simple eligibility requirements and minimal paperwork. Since the loan is secured against gold jewellery, ornaments, or coins, extensive documentation is not mandatory, though a good score may help in getting better interest rates. With an online application, the process involves quick gold evaluation, identity verification, and swift loan disbursal often on the same day as the branch visit.

Multiple repayment options

Gold loan offers multiple repayment options. You can opt to pay the interest on a monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual basis. Please note that the principal amount and pending interest, if any, is due for payment at the time of loan maturity.

Part-release facility

With the part release facility on offer, you can repay a part of your loan and take part of your gold jewellery back before the end of your loan tenure.

No foreclosure charges

You can choose to pre-pay a part of your loan or completely foreclose the loan before the loan term without any prepayment fees or foreclosure charges.

Gold loan calculator

With a free to use online gold loan calculator, you can determine the loan amount depending on the weight and purity of your gold. Before applying for a loan, you can calculate the total interest that will be charged along with your repayment plan.

Free insurance of gold

The pledged gold jewellery is kept in highly secure vaults under 24x7 surveillance. The gold is covered against theft, burgalry, fire at the branch and misplacement till it is under our custody and is returned to you when you repay the loan amount in full.

Gold loan renewal

You can request a renewal before the maturity date if your loan is in standard status and within the permissible LTV limit. This facility is available only to existing customers. For bullet repayment loans, any pending interest must be cleared before renewal. Renewal is not allowed after maturity, and applicable charges may apply.

Gold loan top-up

You can request a top-up before maturity, subject to credit assessment, LTV limits, and standard loan status. This option is available only to existing customers. Top-ups are not permitted after the loan has matured, even if dues remain outstanding.
