A gold loan is a secured form of credit in which a borrower pledges gold jewellery, ornaments, or coins with a lender to raise funds without selling the assets, with the pledged gold released once the borrowing is repaid. Borrowers commonly use it to meet short-term or urgent personal expenses, since the amount that may be sanctioned is assessed against the weight, purity, and value of the gold offered as collateral.
Bajaj Finance, a non-banking financial company established in 1987, positions its gold loan around convenience and transparency, describing a straightforward application that can be started online or completed at a branch. The page emphasises a part-release facility, which allows a borrower to repay a portion of the loan and take back part of the pledged items before the tenure ends, subject to the applicable terms.
It also highlights that pledged gold is kept in secure vaults under continuous surveillance and is covered by insurance against risks such as theft, fire, burglary, or misplacement while it remains in the lender's custody, and that the items are returned in the same condition once the loan is fully repaid. Repayment is offered across several interest-payment frequencies, with the principal falling due at maturity. Eligibility, valuation, sanction, and any renewal or top-up remain subject to the lender's assessment and credit checks.

Up to 75% of the assessed gold value — the RBI loan-to-value cap. The rate depends on the lender and scheme, not your credit score.
Every row is date-stamped with the day we last checked it, and links to the lender’s published material so you can confirm it yourself. A row we confirmed against the source reads “Verified”; one we could only sight reads “as of”, and is not presented as confirmed. Anything we have not re-checked in 60 days is marked “rate under review” rather than left to look current. We do not claim a fixed re-checking cycle — the date on each row is the honest answer.
No. Viewing rates is not a credit enquiry and has no score impact. A hard enquiry happens only when you formally apply to a lender.
