All You Need To Know About Gold Loan Fees And Charges
The gold loan process can be quite complex, with many costs and charges that are initially hard to understand. However, once you’re familiar with the process, getting gold loans becomes relatively straightforward. Here’s everything you need to know about the charges associated with the gold loan to make an informed decision about the best lender for your needs.

Fees And Charges In The Gold Loan Process

While many financial institutions charge interest on loans, not all of them offer gold loans. To find out which banks or NBFCs are offering loans, try asking friends or family members if they’ve ever taken a loan against their valuables, visit your bank’s website, or perform a preliminary online search for information. Additionally, before deciding whether you want to take a short-term or long-term loan, ensure that both options offer fee schedules that work as per your budget.

Types Of Gold Loan Fees

Most financial institutions charge two types of fees:
  • An up-front fee, also known as the processing fee, covers administrative costs and compensates for risk by providing some sort of insurance for the lender if your jewellery is lost or stolen.
  • A monthly interest payment that allows them to profit from your jewellery. The interest rates range from 7 per cent to 29 per cent.
These fees are further categorized into the following:

Processing, Stamp Duty, Cash Handling

All gold loan companies charge processing, stamp duty and cash handling fees, ranging from 0.8% to 2.5%. Gold loans are unsecured loans against a person’s physical possession of gold jewellery. A borrower can take a loan for up to 80% of its value.

Penal Interest

This is typically calculated every month at 3% of your outstanding loan amount. The higher your loan amount, the higher is your monthly penal interest rate. This rate can vary from lender to lender.
A range of 6-8% is not uncommon for loans above Rs 50,000, with shorter terms (of three years or less) carrying a marginally lower rate. Some lenders charge more for short-term loans (12 months or less), with term rates as high as 10% being reported by some consumers.

Foreclosure And Auction Charges

If a borrower is unable to pay their gold loan amount, they can apply for a repayment extension. If they can’t pay back their existing loan by taking out another one, then GEM will sell some of their deposited items as per the terms of the gold loan.
All sales are made at market value, with no mark-up or extra commission added to the sale price. There may be commissions charged by auctioneers on behalf of GEM which varies as per the laws.

How Can You Avoid Excess Fees In The Gold Loan Process?

If you take a gold loan, it’s important to carefully examine your contract and make sure there are no hidden fees or penalties. Before signing the contract, read everything so that you understand every term of your agreement. If there is anything unclear, make sure to ask questions before signing on. Gold loans are a great way to get quick cash when you need it the most. However, ensure you understand all of your options and the terms and conditions first to find one that works for you.
