needs. To avail a gold loan, all you need to do is pledge your gold ornaments with us and we
would provide you with a loan amount as per the market value of your gold. Unlike other loans,
gold loan does not require you to provide any income or salary proof. Moreover, it has
comparatively lower interest rates; requires lesser documentation, and hence is processed in
lesser time.
We at IIFL provide maximum loan against your gold at lowest interest rates. We have a strong presence Pan-India and have serviced a large number of customers in a very short span. We offer different types of schemes as per your requirement and convenience. Following are the main features of our loans:-

Advantages of Gold Loan:-
INDIAN INFOLINE FINANCIAL LIMITEDPage 10
IIFL Gold Loan
Gold loan doesn’t demand any certificate to show your salary or income and even no
credit card history is required. Thus even unemployed and non working people can go for
gold loan.
Unlike any other unsecured loan, gold loan doesn’t require many papers, only few
documents such as ID proof and address proof is enough to avail for such loan.
One of the main advantages of gold loan is its low interest rates. Usually loan over gold is
provided at the interest of 12-16% per annum and this is quite low compared to personal
loans available at interest rates of 15-26% per annum.
In rural areas Agricultural loan against gold is also available for agriculturist at very
nominal rate of Interest of 7%-8%, proof of agricultural document needs to be provided.
Gold loan is the most simple and convenient forms of loan because here all you need to
do is pledge your gold with a bank or finance company and get upto 80% of the market
value of the gold as a loan.
Borrower will be given an option to pay only interest during the entire term and at the
end of the tenure you can pay complete borrowed amount in single shot.
In case of gold loan processing time is very less. Usually banks take just few hours to
complete the process where as in case of NBFC’s (Non Banking Financial Companies) a
few minutes is enough for the same. So for immediate financial help this is the best
option.
Charges associated with Gold Loan:-
INDIAN INFOLINE FINANCIAL LIMITEDPage 11
Loan processing charge: While some of the service providers may
waiver these charges, some banks do charge a processing fee.
Valuation Charge: These are the charges to be paid to the valuator.
These charges are also specific to the service provider and those
having in-house valuators do not charge any extra amount for
valuation.
Late payment penalty: Most of the service providers charge late
payment penalty and this too can vary from one institution to the
other.
Pre-payment penalty: Most of the service providers do not charge
a penalty for repayment before the loan tenure is over. But some
may still have this charge in place.
It is advisable to check with the loan provider before taking the
loan. These charges could change the amount that you may
finally receive.
AdviceOn Gold Loans:-
Go for gold loan if you are confident of returning the money in time
otherwise, you will be penalized and all your pledged gold will come
under the control of bank or finance company from where you taken a
Gold Loan.
INDIAN INFOLINE FINANCIAL LIMITEDPage 12
While opting for gold loan check the interest rates in various banks and
private finances. If you go for private lenders then better to go with
one who has been in this business for many years.
RBI's gold loan regulation for NBFCs
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday tightened regulations governing non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) lending against gold jewellery.
The new rules include strict documentation for high value loans against gold and prohibition on misleading advertisements by NBFCs such as offering availability of gold loans in a matter of 2-3 minutes.
The guidelines are broadly based on the January recommendations of an expert panel set up by RBI, headed by K.U.B.Rao. The RBI, however, did not accept the recommendation of the panel for higher loan-to-value (LTV) ratio on gold loans.
The LTV ratio, or the amount that can be lent against gold, has been maintained at 60%. This means for gold worth Rs100 offered as collateral, lenders can give loans up to Rs60.
Further, NBFCs should also proportionally value while deciding the LTV on jewellery of lower purity of gold, RBI said.
Also, NBFCs financing against the collateral of gold must insist on a copy of the PAN card of the borrower for all transaction above Rs5 lakhs and all high value loans of Rs 1 lakh and above must only be disbursed by cheque, RBI said.
The apex bank has clearly stipulated that NBFCs should not issue misleading advertisements like claiming the availability of loans in a matter of 2-3 minutes.
RBI has also asked NBFCs to make the auction process of the gold more transparent by disclosing the details of auction process in the annual report, including full details of the value fetched in the auction.
INDIAN INFOLINE FINANCIAL LIMITEDPage 13
The reserve price for the pledged ornaments should not be less than 85% of the previous 30 day average closing price of 22 carat gold as declared by the Bombay Bullion Association Ltd, an industry body, RBI said.

Industry overview
India is witnessing increasing urbanization, which will fuel demand for homes and commercial
space. There is a huge demand supply mismatch for dwelling units which means demand for
loans will remain robust in the long to medium term, irrespective of high interest rates. The
organized gold loan market is pegged at US$ 8 billion and has grown at 40% CAGR since 2002.
Despite this, a mere 1.5-2% of India’s gold stock of
18-20,000 tonnesreaches the organized sector. According to the World Gold Council, demand
for gold in India is expected to grow 30% in real terms, which opens up a huge opportunity for
the sector (Source: Times of India)

Selling Skill :-
The sales management process is the basis of effective selling.
Sales management means every step of the sales process is
executed efficiently leading to a sales.
Sales in financial services
In financial industry, customers will rarely come forward to
purchase services for them .most product are generally
intangible in nature .
For example opening a Demat/trading account is very different
from buying a mobile phone .the customer is relatively well
educated about what he seeks in case of consumer goods . in
case of financial product the customer has to be advised on the
benefits as well as the need for a financial product
Thus sales in the financial services industry is highly dependent
on how you manage your relationship with the customer.
INDIAN INFOLINE FINANCIAL LIMITEDPage 34
Thus we can describe the sales management process as a three step
process.
Acquisition:-
The process of prospecting and acquiring new customers using a
structured sales process.
Retention:
The process of providing excellent services and support to existing
customers and thus reduce attrition
Prospecting:-

The company should also organize seminars and similar activities to enhance the
knowledge of prospective and existing customers, so that they feel more comfortable while
investing in the financial products.

RECOMMENDATIONS& SUGGESTIONS
Most of the people are not much aware of IIFL gold loan services and its benefit. So
INDIA INFOLINE FINANCIAL LIMITED can take general awareness of GOLD LOAN
SERVICES plan to the customers. INDIA INFOLINE should maintain the customer

There is lack of new customer addition in the branches of Indian Infoline Financial
Limited, only existing customer comes to respective branches for gold loan so it is important to
increase the awareness about the financial products of Indian Infoline Financial Limited in
respective area. Some promotional activities are required for the awareness of the customer.
The Company should increase Exposure. It is the good tool to capture the market. To
increase awareness about GOLD LOAN SERVICES AND OTHER FINANCIAL PRODUCT
and the name India Infoline itself, the company should organize campaign. The campaign can be
weekly, monthly, yearly, it will give a good result to the company to capture market in the
competitive position.
