If you’re planning to take a gold loan for non-agricultural purposes, you might want to finalise your decision in a few days. In August last year, the Reserve Bank of India had announced to increase the maximum loan to value (LTV) ratio for gold loans from 75% to 90% to help borrowers secure a higher loan amount on the same amount of pledged gold in a bid to support the common people’s financing requirements during the Covid-19 crisis. That relaxation, however, is valid until March 31, 2021, so you have little time to lose if you want to avail of the facility.

High availability of household gold, relatively lower interest rates than unsecured loans like a personal loan, quick and hassle-free disbursal and lesser reliance on the borrower’s credit score make gold loans one of the most popular financing facilities in our country. These loans could help in the fulfilment of our critical life goals but also come to our rescue during a financial emergency, according to BankBazaar.

That being said, before applying for a gold loan, ensure the loan amount sanctioned would be enough to meet your financing requirement, compare your options across various lenders to find a deal with the best repayment terms and have a thorough repayment plan to avoid additional penalties and the potential loss of a precious asset.
