What is a Gold Loan?

A gold loan is a secured loan where you pledge your gold jewellery or ornaments as collateral to get instant funding. The loan amount is based on the weight, purity of your gold and the lender's LTV ratio.

Gold loans are popular in India for emergency needs due to fast processing (often within hours), lower interest rates compared to personal loans, and no credit score requirement.

Formula & example

Loan = Weight × Purity × Price/gram × LTV% EMI = [L × r × (1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1]

Weight= Gold weight in grams
Purity= 24K=0.999, 22K=0.916, 18K=0.750
LTV= Loan-to-Value ratio (max 75% per RBI)
r= Monthly interest rate = annual rate / 12 / 100

50g of 22K gold at ₹6,500/gram, LTV 75%:

Loan = 50 × 0.916 × 6,500 × 0.75 = ₹2,22,900

At 12% for 12 months: EMI = ₹19,804/month

Frequently asked questions

How is gold loan amount calculated?+

Gold loan amount = Gold weight (grams) × Purity factor × Market price per gram × LTV ratio. For example, 50g of 22K gold at ₹6,500/gram with 75% LTV = 50 × 0.916 × 6,500 × 0.75 = ₹2,22,900 eligible loan.

What is LTV ratio in gold loans?+

LTV (Loan-to-Value) is the percentage of gold value you can borrow. RBI allows maximum 75% LTV for gold loans by NBFCs. Banks may offer up to 80-90% in some cases. Higher LTV means higher loan but also higher interest.

What is the interest rate on gold loans?+

Gold loan interest rates typically range from 7% to 24% p.a. Banks like SBI and HDFC offer rates from 7-11%, while NBFCs like Muthoot and Manappuram typically charge 12-24%. Rates depend on tenure, LTV and your profile.

What gold purity is accepted for gold loans?+

Most lenders accept 18K, 22K and 24K gold jewellery. 22K (91.6% pure) is most common as it's used in Indian jewellery. 24K gold bars/coins are also accepted. Below 18K purity may be rejected or offered lower LTV.

Is there a maximum tenure for gold loans?+

Most gold loans have short tenures of 3-36 months. Some lenders offer bullet repayment (pay interest monthly, principal at end) or EMI-based repayment. Tenures beyond 36 months are rare for gold loans.
