Monthly Interest on ₹15,000 Gold Loan
At the most common pawn broker interest rate of 18% per annum, the monthly interest on a ₹15,000 gold loan is ₹225. This means if you pledge gold worth at least ₹20,000 (to meet the 75% LTV requirement) and borrow ₹15,000, you pay ₹225 every month as interest to the pawn broker.
If you are with a bank or NBFC charging 12% per annum, the monthly interest on ₹15,000 drops to ₹150 — significantly lower than private pawn brokers. Always compare rates before taking a gold loan.
