    A gold loan in Kamana Sewa Bikas Bank lets you access funds by pledging eligible gold as collateral instead of selling it. You can pledge gold ornaments, hallmark coins, or eligible fine gold bars, which are assessed by a bank-appointed valuer. Once approved, the loan amount is based on the assessed value of your gold and the applicable loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. Your pledged gold is securely stored by the bank and returned after you repay the loan and applicable interest.

    Kamana Sewa Bikas Bank offers up to 80% of the assessed value of eligible fine gold bars and hallmark coins, and up to 70% for gold ornaments. For example, if your gold ornament is assessed at Rs. 1,00,000, you could receive up to Rs. 70,000, subject to the bank's lending terms and approval. Individual borrowers can access loans from Rs. 25,000 up to Rs. 15 lakh, while registered institutions can borrow up to Rs. 25 lakh.

    The gold loan is available as an overdraft facility, renewable annually, or as a demand loan for up to one year, as approved. The application process is handled at a Kamana Sewa Bikas Bank branch, where your gold is assessed and the required documentation is completed.

    How the LTV Works

    Understanding your LTV ratio

    The loan amount you receive is based on your gold's assessed value multiplied by the applicable loan-to-value percentage. Here is how it works in practice:

    01

    Gold bar valued at Rs. 1,00,000 at 80% LTV: You can borrow up to Rs. 80,000.

    02

    Gold ornament valued at Rs. 1,00,000 at 70% LTV: You can borrow up to Rs. 70,000.

    Interest is then calculated on the amount actually drawn, for the duration of the loan. Gold valuation is carried out by a bank-appointed valuer on the day of your application.

    If you prefer not to pledge physical gold, you can consider a Loan Against Fixed Deposit if you have an eligible fixed deposit with the bank.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the gold loan interest rate in Nepal?

    Gold loan interest rates in Nepal are set by each bank by adding a spread rate to their NRB-prescribed base rate. The base rate is revised monthly, so the final rate you receive will reflect the current rate at the time of your application. At Kamana Sewa Bikas Bank, contact any branch or call +977 01-5970030 for the rate currently applicable to your loan amount.

    Which bank gives the best gold loan in Nepal?

    The right choice depends on the LTV ratio, processing speed, and your proximity to a branch. Kamana Sewa Bikas Bank offers up to 80% LTV on fine gold bars and hallmark coins among the higher ratios offered by development banks in Nepal. Applications are processed at the branch, and disbursement is typically completed within the same visit.

    How is a gold loan calculated?

    The loan amount equals the assessed market value of your gold multiplied by the applicable LTV percentage. For example: a gold bar valued at Rs. 1,00,000 with an 80% LTV gives a maximum loan of Rs. 80,000. Interest is then calculated on the amount drawn for the duration of the loan tenure.

    What is the difference between a gold loan and a loan against gold?

    They refer to the same product. A gold loan, also called a loan against gold or gold collateral loan, is a secured facility where you pledge gold as collateral and receive funds in return. The gold is held safely by the bank and returned to you in full once the loan is repaid.

    Can institutions apply for a gold loan at Kamana Sewa Bikas Bank?

    Yes. The gold loan facility is available to both individuals and registered institutions. Individual borrowers can access up to Rs. 15 lakhs. Institutions can borrow up to Rs. 25 lakhs against eligible gold collateral.

    What documents do I need for a gold loan?

    Individual applicants need a citizenship certificate or valid passport, two recent passport-size photographs, a completed loan application form, and the gold items to be pledged. Gold is assessed by a bank-appointed valuer at the branch on the day of your visit.
