Monthly Interest on ₹1 Lakh Gold Loan
At the most common pawn broker interest rate of 18% per annum, the monthly interest on a ₹1 Lakh gold loan is ₹1,500. This means if you pledge gold worth at least ₹1,33,333 (to meet the 75% LTV requirement) and borrow ₹1 Lakh, you pay ₹1,500 every month as interest to the pawn broker.
If you are with a bank or NBFC charging 12% per annum, the monthly interest on ₹1 Lakh drops to ₹1,000 — significantly lower than private pawn brokers. Always compare rates before taking a gold loan.
