A gold loan is a secured loan where you pledge your gold ornaments (typically 18-24 karats) as collateral to borrow funds from a lender.
Any Indian citizen above the age of 18 years and has at least 18 karats of gold to pledge can apply for the loan.
You will require identity and address proofs such as your Aadhar card, utility bills, passport, driving licence, voter id card, etc.
Lenders assess the purity of your gold, for example whether it is 22K or 24K. They also check the weight, and current market price of the gold. The loan amount is then calculated based on the Loan-to-value (LTV) ratio applied to the gold's market value.

You can choose a repayment option which best suits your needs and preferences. These options usually include bullet payments, EMIs, part payments, and so on.
If interest payments are not made by the due date, despite getting reminders, the lender might impose penalties or even might auction your gold.
Many lenders allow prepayment, but some may charge foreclosure fees based on the loan terms.
If gold prices rise, your loan eligibility may increase. Conversely, a decline in gold prices may reduce the amount you can borrow.
