Pune (Maharashtra) [India], January 15: Gold has long been a symbol of tradition, security, and wealth in India. However, many people are unaware that their gold jewellery can also serve as a quick and convenient source of funds during emergencies. Borrowing a gold loan has become one of the fastest and easiest ways to secure cash when required urgently, whether for medical expenses, business capital, or personal needs. Pledging gold offers a way to unlock funds without parting with precious assets.
As the demand for gold loan continues to rise, it is important to understand the various options available and how they work. Let us explore how individuals can leverage their gold with Bajaj Finance.
What is a Gold Loan?
A gold loan is a secured loan in which borrowers pledge gold jewellery as collateral to obtain money. The lender evaluates the purity and weight of the gold to determine its market value. Based on this assessment, a loan is provided, typically up to a certain percentage of the gold's value, known as the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio. Gold loans offer lower interest rates, faster approval, and more flexible repayment options compared to personal loans, while allowing borrowers to retain ownership of their gold once the loan is repaid.
Lenders offer various gold loan options to meet different financial needs. For personal use, gold loans can be used for wedding expenses, education, home renovations, or medical emergencies. For business owners, a gold loan can help secure working capital, purchase equipment, or expand operations by using gold as collateral.
How is the loan amount calculated?
The loan amount a borrower is eligible for depends on the gold rate in different city. Lenders assess the purity and weight of the gold, and the market rate on the day determines its value.
For instance, if the gold rate in Chennai is Rs. 5,850 per gram, and the gold jewellery weighs 50 grams, the eligible loan amount can be calculated as follows, assuming a Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio of 75%:
* Gold Weight: 50 grams
* Gold Rate in Chennai (per gram): Rs. 5,850
* LTV Ratio: 75%
* Eligible Loan Amount: Rs. 2,19,375

If the gold rate increases, the eligible loan amount also rises.
