Gold loans have become the go-to option for many Indians when quick funds are needed, be it for a medical emergency, education, or even a new business opportunity.
But choosing the right gold loan scheme makes all the difference. Some give you flexibility in repayment, others maximise the loan value you get from your jewellery. So how do you decide which one is right for you?
Here are some factors to consider when selecting the best gold loan scheme that truly fits your needs.
What Is a Gold Loan Scheme?
A gold loan scheme is a plan that banks or financial institutions create to help you borrow money by pledging your gold.
Think of it as a ready-made package with clear details on how much you can borrow, the interest rate you will pay, the repayment timeline, and the repayment options you can choose from.
Each scheme is tailored to align with different needs, such as farmers requiring short-term funds, small businesses seeking working capital, or individuals covering personal expenses.
The idea is to provide complete flexibility and clarity, allowing you to choose the option that suits you best.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Gold Loan Scheme
- Interest Rate
Compare interest rates offered by different lenders. Even a small difference in rates can significantly affect your repayment amount over time. - Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio
Check how much loan amount you will get against the pledged gold. As per RBI guidelines, it is capped at 75% but some lenders structure it more attractively within that limit. - Repayment Flexibility
Choose repayment options that fit comfortably with your finances. Some schemes allow monthly EMIs, while others provide bullet repayment (paying the full amount at maturity) or overdraft-style facilities for frequent withdrawals. - Tenure
Pick a loan tenure that matches how comfortably you can repay. Shorter loans cut down on interest, while longer ones give you extra flexibility. - Processing Fees & Hidden Charges
Always check for additional costs like processing fees, appraisal charges, foreclosure penalties or late payment fines, as these can increase the final cost. - Safety & Transparency
It’s important that your gold is stored securely and that all terms are clearly explained, with no hidden conditions. - Reputation of Lender
Opt for a trusted bank or NBFC known for reliability, fair practices, and strong customer support. At Manappuram Finance, we combine transparent terms, secure gold storage, and customer-first service, making us a preferred choice for borrowers across India.
