Gold is an asset which every household has as an Investment, as part of their savings, as a security and in case of a need it is a savior, since one can pledge it to avail the funds for emergencies.
The benefits of Gold Loan:
- Banks/NBFCs normally do not check regulatory scores (such as CIBIL, CRIF, Experian etc.) while availing a Gold Loan
- It can be used as a tool to increase the regulatory scores which helps one to avail bigger loans at a future date with or without collateral
- The processing is too fast (most of the times the same day)
- Can be taken as a one time disbursement or have an Overdraft facility (pay interest for the number of days the loan is used)
- Mostly online process or with minimum documentation
- Rate of interest is competitive (almost equivalent to Home loan rates)
- Flexibility of part payment or pre closure without much hassle
- Since gold works as a primary collateral to funding agencies no additional property collateral required
- One can avail Gold loan in addition to any existing loans
- Banks/NBFCs do not ask for a reason/purpose of end use of funds
Subsidies available if it is taken from a particular bank branch location
