What is a gold loan scheme?
If you have gold jewellery and need funds, you are not limited to just one way of borrowing. Financial institutions offer different gold loan schemes so you can choose one that matches your needs and comfort. Each scheme comes with its own features, such as the per gram rate offered on your gold, the flexibility to select a tenure, and the maximum loan amount you can avail.
The right gold loan scheme helps you strike a balance between how much you borrow and how easily you can repay it. You can pick from a range of gold loan repayment options based on your financial situation, which makes managing the loan simpler. By choosing a scheme that suits you, you can plan your repayments better and meet your total liability on time. Understanding how these schemes work also helps you use a gold loan more confidently when the need arises.
What are the gold loan schemes available in India?
The Indian government does not directly offer gold loans to individuals like private lenders or banks do. However, it supports and regulates certain gold-linked schemes and facilitates access to gold loans through public sector banks. Here are key schemes and government-supported avenues:
1. Gold Monetisation Scheme (GMS)
- Purpose: Not a loan, but a deposit scheme to mobilise idle gold.
- Launched by: Government of India via banks.
- Benefit: Earn interest by depositing your gold for short, medium, or long term.
Note: This scheme does not offer loans, but helps utilise gold holdings productively.
2. Gold loan schemes via public sector banks
Government Banks offer government-supported gold loan products:
- MSME gold loan plus – for small business owners with Udyam registration.
- Swarna loan– available for agricultural and personal needs.
These schemes are regulated by the RBI and aligned with government initiatives to increase financial inclusion, especially for rural and underserved sectors.
**Please note that Bajaj Finance is not associated with any government gold loan scheme and independently offers gold loans based on its own terms, conditions, and eligibility criteria.
