Gold Loan Vs Personal Loan - Interest Rate Comparison

As you know, Gold loan is becoming more popular among Indians, whether it is for personal consumption or business needs, any such urgent unforeseen expenses can be managed with Gold loans. The main attractions are the lowest interest rates, zero hidden costs, minimal documentation and no processing time.

Gold loan eligibility is evaluated based on the gold value. The banks are not worried about your credit history nor your financial position. Also the interest rate is calculated based on the percentage of market value of gold you are availing the loan. If you are going for say 90% of the market value, the interest will be on the higher side. The interest rate varies from 11 to 24 based on this figure. Still its cheaper than personal loan.
