With the outburst of the pandemic came uncertainty and unpredictability about the future. So, it became inevitable for everyone to ensure financial stability to prepare for the worst. Borrowers usually go for personal loans when in urgent need of funds, but a gold loan is also a relatively safer option for procuring credit at comparatively lower interest rates.
Loan seekers can apply on the SBI YONO app at an interest rate of 7.5 per cent per annum. Gold loan, also called loan against gold, is a secured loan taken by the borrower from a lender (bank) in lieu of their jewellery or ornaments. Typically, the gold amount sanctioned by the bank is a particular percentage of the gold – up to 80 per cent depending upon the current market value and gold’s quality.
