GOLD LOANS · WORLDWIDE
Gold loans are secured against jewellery, so rates are usually lower and terms shorter. See your monthly installment.
A gold loan EMI is the fixed monthly installment on money borrowed against jewellery or gold held as collateral by the lender. Because the loan is secured by an easily valued asset, approval is typically fast and rates sit below those of unsecured personal loans.
Enter your loan amount, interest rate, and term, and compare the advance and arrears repayment schemes below.
Both schemes charge the same interest rate on the same loan. The only difference is when each installment falls due — and that timing changes how much interest accrues over the life of the loan.
Because gold loans are secured by jewellery held as collateral, lenders can offer lower rates and faster approval than unsecured personal loans. Terms are typically short, often one to three years, which keeps the total interest low even though the rate isn't the lowest available.
The first installment is deducted at disbursement, before any interest has accrued. Every later installment is then calculated on a slightly lower balance, so total interest paid over the loan is a little lower.
The first installment falls due one month after disbursement, after a full month of interest has already built up. This is the more common structure for most loans.
EMI = P × R × (1+R)ⁿ ÷ [(1+R)ⁿ − 1], where P is the loan amount, R is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and N is the number of monthly installments.
For a loan of 200,000 over 24 months at 9% annual interest, the EMI comes to about 9,137 a month, with total interest of roughly 19,287 over the two-year term.
If you default, the lender has the right to auction the pledged gold to recover the outstanding amount, as specified in your loan agreement. It's worth confirming the exact default terms with your lender before borrowing.
Gold loans are secured by collateral the lender can easily value and liquidate if needed, which lowers the lender's risk compared to an unsecured personal loan. That reduced risk is typically reflected in a lower interest rate.
EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installment — a fixed payment made each month toward a loan, made up of a portion of the principal and a portion of interest. The size of each portion changes over time, but the total payment stays the same for the life of the loan.
In the advance scheme, your first installment is deducted at disbursement, before any interest has accrued, so total interest ends up slightly lower. In the arrears scheme (the more common structure), the first installment falls due one month after disbursement, after a full month of interest has already built up.
