Pledge your gold ornaments and coins to get money at lightning-fast speed and low, concessional interest rates, all from the comfort of your home. 

Availing of loans against gold is on a roll, with SBI registering a Y-O-Y growth of about 465 percent in its bullion loan category in the last fiscal since SBI is offering some of the lowest gold loan interest rates in the market.

What’s more, you get the added advantage of a lower interest rate at 8.25 percent. Additional concessional rate of 0.75 percent can also be taken till September 30, 2021. Less branch waits and processing time means you get the best value of your time and gold, which can start from Rs 20,000, going up to Rs 50 lakhs. 

Eligibility and Documentation This loan is available for the young and the old! From pensioners who are not required to furnish any proof of income to individuals over 18 years of age with a steady, regular source of income, anyone can apply for the loan! You can apply for the loan at SBI branches or simply via the YONO app! 

As for documents, all you need is your gold loan application with two copies of your photographs and proof of identity along with a proof of address. Notably, the bank has also waived off any foreclosure charges and pre-payment penalties for its  customers.
