Gold Loans

Gold loan or loan against gold is a secured loan in which a customer pledges his/her gold ornaments as collateral with a gold loan company. The company, in turn, gives a loan amount as per the market value of gold to the customer.Many nationalized banks, private banks and other financial companies offer this loan at attractive rates. Many go for this loan for short period to meet the requirement of their children’s education, marriage and other financial problems in the family. And others think that instead of keeping the gold idle at home or locker, loan against gold is the best option. Moreover with the rise in gold rates the demand from companies and banks offering such loans has raised. For instance, Muthoot Finance, one of the leading gold loan companies has seen 24 percent rises in gold loan against 17 percent raise in the market value of gold
