Who Can Apply for a Gold Loan and What the Eligibility Criteria Are

As gold loans continue to gain traction across India as a preferred short-term credit option, Bajaj Finance is making it easier than ever for eligible borrowers to understand who qualifies, what documents are needed, and how the rate of interest against gold loan is determined — before they even step into a branch.   Bajaj Finance Gold Loan     A loan product built for accessibility One of the defining features of a gold loan is how inclusive it is. Unlike personal loans or business loans that require income proof, a strong credit score, or extensive documentation, a gold loan is secured entirely against the value of the borrower’s gold. This makes it accessible to a wide cross-section of Indians — salaried employees, self-employed professionals, and pensioners alike. With Bajaj Finance, eligible borrowers can access loan amounts ranging from ₹5,000 to ₹2 crore, with funds disbursed on the same day in most cases*. Gold loan eligibility criteria The gold loan eligibility criteria set by Bajaj Finance are deliberately straightforward. To qualify, a borrower must be an Indian citizen between the ages of 21 and 80. The gold jewellery or ornaments being pledged must be between 18 and 22 karats in purity. Gold coins of up to 24 karats are also accepted — making this one of the most accessible secured loan products available in the Indian market today. It is worth noting that jewellery with heavy stonework or enamel detailing is valued only on its actual gold content. Borrowers are advised to keep this in mind when estimating their eligible loan amount. Documents required The documentation process is minimal by design. Borrowers are required to submit just one valid KYC document, which may be any of the following — an Aadhaar card, Voter ID, passport, driving licence, NREGA job card, or a letter from the National Population Registeration. Rate of interest against gold loan The rate of interest against gold loan at Bajaj Finance starts from just 9.50% per annum. The applicable rate is influenced by factors such as the loan amount, chosen tenure, and the purity of the gold being pledged. Bajaj Finance evaluates gold using the lower of the previous day’s closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange — ensuring a fair and stable valuation for the borrower. Repayment is flexible, with borrowers able to pay interest on a monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual basis. The principal is settled at the end of the tenure. Foreclosure is permitted at no additional charge, giving borrowers the freedom to close the loan early if their finances allow. How to apply Borrowers can apply for a Bajaj Finance Gold Loan online through the website or app, or by visiting their nearest branch. The online process involves entering a mobile number, verifying with an OTP, filling in personal details, selecting the nearest branch, and downloading an in-principal eligibility letter. Physical assessment of the gold takes place at the branch, following which funds are typically credited on the same day. T&C Apply.   About Bajaj Finance Limited Bajaj Finance Ltd. (‘BFL’, ‘Bajaj Finance’, or ‘the Company’), a subsidiary of Bajaj Finserv Ltd., is a deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC-D) registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and is classified as an NBFC-Investment and Credit Company (NBFC-ICC).

For Our Future – the Cartons to Creatures installation features life-sized animals designed as playful, immersive photo opportunities. Constructed entirely from recycled aseptic cartons, the installations will demonstrate how everyday waste can be transformed into creative and durable products. By placing the exhibits in high-footfall public spaces, the initiative seeks to spark conversations around sustainability and encourage greater participation in carton recycling across Mumbai. Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Yogesh Desai, Assistant Commissioner, G North Ward, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation said “Mumbai has always led from the front in building an environmentally progressive city, and initiatives like this demonstrate what strong public-private collaboration can achieve. The innovative pathway made using paver tiles recovered from used beverage cartons is a powerful example of how everyday waste can be transformed into durable, real-world infrastructure. At the same time, installations like ‘Cartons to Creatures’ play an important role in making this idea visible and engaging for citizens. When people see recycled materials not just under their feet, but also brought to life in their neighbourhood parks, it changes how they perceive waste and its potential. The BMC is proud to support this initiative and we encourage every Mumbaikar to participate, because a sustainable Mumbai is not built by policy alone, but by collective action.” Mr. Kiran Singh Patil, Assistant Engineer, Solid Waste Management Department, G North Ward, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, said, “Effective waste management goes beyond collection and processing, it requires citizens to understand the value of the materials they discard every day. Initiatives such as this help bridge that gap by demonstrating how used beverage cartons can be transformed into useful and durable products. We hope these efforts encourage more citizens to segregate waste responsibly and participate actively in Mumbai’s growing recycling ecosystem.” “At Tetra Pak, we believe that sustainability becomes most powerful when it moves beyond concepts and becomes something people can experience in their everyday lives. By bringing these installations into public spaces, we hope to inspire citizens to see recycling not as a separate activity, but as a simple action that contributes to a larger circular economy. Every carton recycled is an opportunity to conserve resources, reduce waste, and create a more sustainable future for our cities” added Kamlesh Kholiya, Sustainability Manager, Tetra Pak India. Accompanying the animal installations will be the larger-than-life Carton Recycling Relay collection bin, first introduced during World Environment Day campaign in 2025, giving visitors an immediate opportunity to act on the inspiration they encounter. The campaign is being run by RUR Greenlife, Tetra Pak’s long-standing recycling partner in Mumbai, and has been implemented in close coordination with the Solid Waste Management Department and Garden Department of G North Ward, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. Volunteers from RUR will be present at the installations to engage with visitors, share information about carton recycling, and encourage participation in the Go Green with Tetra Pak programme. The initiative will highlight Mumbai’s growing carton recycling ecosystem. Citizens can decide to recycle their used beverage cartons through more than 50 collection points located across Reliance Smart and Sahakari Bhandar stores, along with over 200 other collection points across the city. Launched in 2010, the Go Green with Tetra Pak Programme has encouraged thousands of Mumbaikars to recycle used beverage cartons by providing convenient collection infrastructure and demonstrating the value of recycled materials through community-focused projects. Over the years, collected cartons have been transformed into useful products such as school desks, garden benches, and awareness installations that are donated back to society. As the Cartons to Creatures installations travel across Mumbai over the coming weeks, the initiative aims to inspire citizens to take simple but meaningful steps towards sustainability, showing how everyday actions can help protect nature, support climate action, and create a better future for all.   About Tetra Pak Tetra Pak is a world leading food processing and packaging solutions company.
