  • Gold loans are handy when you need money urgently
  • Typically, lenders give up to 75 per cent of the value of the gold as a loan after checking its purity, weight and market price
  • A gold loan can, in many situations, be a better option than a personal loan due to its quick processing time and minimal documentation
  • Many lenders don't even check credit bureau score or ask for proof of income
  • Some non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) primarily focus on gold loans, and such lenders offer higher valuation (higher gold loan per gram)
  • Opt for an NBFC if you are looking for a higher loan
