CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Introduction of the Topic: Gold is not a metal for Indians it is Goddess Lakshmi, it is very deeply involved in our emotion so Glitter of Gold is always on higher side. Gold is part of Hindu rituals from ancient time. It is taken as the safest way of investment from the time when the banks were not in the existence. In India maximum population rely on agriculture and the crop production is done either once or twice and this is the earning for whole year so they secure excess money by investing in gold and silver (generally in the form of jewelry to facilitate rituals). When they need money they pledge it to money lender for fulfilling the short term need. According to World Gold Council reports, two-thirds of the gold demand in India comes from the rural agricultural sector. So the concept of Gold loan in India is from old time. The concept of gold loan was previously available in banks but not on their priority but the success of some non banking financial companies has attracted other player of this market to tape the potential. . OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY:

1. To evaluate and compare the Gold loan Schemes of Manapurram Finance, Muthoot Finance, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank 2. To know about the process of Gold loan sanction process of different banks. 3. To know about the documents required for sanctioning of Gold loan. 4. To know about the rate of interest charges of different banks.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY 1. The main purpose of doing this project was to know about Gold loan .This helps to know in detail about Gold loan providing by different banks. 2. It also helps in understanding different schemes of Gold loan of banks because my study is based on the interest rates offered by banks. It helps us to understand the banking facility . 3. The project also ascertain the documentation required for sanctioning of Gold loans. Ultimately this would help in understanding the benefits of Gold loan. 4. The project is based on the banks Muthoot finance, Mnapurram finance,HDFC and Axis Bank.

LITERATURE REVIEW Venkateswaran (2012) analyzed that organized gold loan market grew at CAGR of 40 per cent during FY 2002-10. The study pointed out that gold loan market was under-penetrated which accounted just 1.2 per cent of the value of total Gold stock in India. The study concluded that negligible penetration, aggressive network expansion and increasing adoption of gold loans attracted more financial institutions to enter into business to give competition to existing NBFCs. Mary (2013) found out that the demand for gold as an investment avenue was gaining momentum among consumers of Cochin and Delhi. The research resulted that gold was price sensitive at low prices but insensitive to price increase. The study concluded that the gold customers in Cochin and Delhi were price insensitive in nature. Roy (2013) analyzed with the help of CAMEL model that the gold loan NBFCs (Manappuram Finance, Muthoot Finance and Muthoot Fincorp) used heavier debt in their capital structure, aggressive lending policies and their lower liquidity put them on the edge of high risk. Gupta (2014) compared the Economic value added (EVA) with the traditional performance measures (CAMEL indicators) as a predictor of financial health of all public sector banks and 20 top private sector banks during 2003 to 2008. The results revealed that Earning Per Share (EPS) and Return on Net Worth (RONW) were better predictor of financial health of banks followed by EVA over the other indicators. Kumar and Sharma (2014) analyzed the performance of the top 8 market capitalized banks by using CAMEL approach during the period 2006-10. The overall performance showed that SBI was top performer followed by PNB and HDFC bank. Malhotra and Aspal (2014) analyzed the financial performance of the new private sector banks in India by using the CAMELS model during 2008-2012. The study indicated no significant difference in CAMELS ratios among the new private sector banks. The study concluded that Kotak Mahindra bank have excellent performance followed by Axis bank and MANAPURRAM FINANCE bank secured the last rank in terms of performance. Thilakam and Saravanan (2014) examined the financial soundness of the 30 selected NBFCs in Tamil Nadu by using the CAMEL model during the period

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTEPRETATION

For this they are trying to offer some unique services as per the unique requirements of the unique important customers.

A comparison of interest rates charged by lenders across loan categories. The comparison of interest rates shows that gold loans fetch banks higher rates as compared to home loans and car loans. Hence, this category is being targeted aggressively by banks. However, NBFCs have a much greater focus on gold loans and continue to provide attractive loan features which enable them to charge higher rates, generate higher profits and grow rapidly in a singular direction. Since lenders take possession of the gold assets in a loan transaction, in case of a theft they may not have sufficient funds to compensate all the borrowers for their loss in its entirety. This is more important for loans placed in the unorganized sector; banks/NBFCs usually have better security and insurance coverage. Furthermore, financial packages cannot compensate for the personal attachment a borrower has with the gold assets.

MANAPURRAM FINANCE

GOLD LOAN

Anyone who owns gold can avail Manappuram gold loan. In order to get the loan sanctioned, an applicant has to submit their gold which should be within the range of 18 to 24 carats. The loan amount that is to be sanctioned will be based on the valuation of gold; lenders would check the purity of gold before sanctioning a gold loan. If the pledged gold ornaments have any stones fixed/fitted in it, then weight of such stones would be neglected for precise valuation. However, minors (below 18) are not eligible to avail gold loan. LOAN AMOUNT

✓ ✓







A number of factors are taken into account when assessing repayment capacity. Customer income, age, number of dependents, qualification, asset &liabilities, stability and continuity of customer employment. Business is one of them. However there are ways by which you can enhance your eligibility. If the customer spouse is earning put he/she as a co-applicant. the additional income shall be included to enhance the loan amount. Incidentally, if there are any co owners they must necessarily be co-applicant customer fiancée’s income can also be considered sanctioning the loan on your combined Income .the disbursement of the loan, however will be done only after the submit proof of Marriage. Providing additional security like bonds, fixed deposits & LIC policies may also help to enhance Eligibility. While there is no need for guarantor, it could be that having one might enhance your credibility with us. If so, our loan officer would provide customer with positive necessary details.

The final act to be sanctioned will depend on your repayment capacity. However, what customers ultimately are entitled to will have to conform within the limits fixed for each loan. Also when the company looks at the total cost, registration charges, stamp duty, transfer charges are also included.

GOLDLOAN

We at Manapurram Finance understand the value of owing your house. Our affordable Gold loans can make all the difference to their dreams.

LISTINGS BELOW ARE THE STEP INVOLVED IN AVAILING OF A GOLDLOAN

✓ ✓ ✓

✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓

✓ ✓ ✓

A person applies for a Gold loan The executive meets the applicant & briefs him the entire loan process, requirements & the various options available. The applicant chooses a Lender & handover the income

Document to the executive are the income documents are headed over to the Lendor for eligibility & approval. The lender verifies the documents & checks the repaying capacity, saving habits, tenure of services etc. of the applicant & approves the loan amount. After approval an offer letter is given to the applicant by the lender, along with list of original title documents that have to hand over to the lender. The applicant gives the original jwellery title document to the Lender The lender scrutinizes the legal & the technical aspects of the original title document.

If the lender is satisfy as to the legal & technical aspect of the document then the applicant is called to sign the loan agreement The applicant gets the loan amount. The applicant can start paying the EMIs.

DISBURSEMENT

Customer loan will be disbursed after you identify & select the Gold against which the customer are taking loanafter showing requisite legal documents. While the customer may be under impression that the list of documents asked for it is rather extensive. Each and every single document asked for will be verified & check to ensure their

safety. This may take some time but the banks want to ensure a clear title and will complete all the legal & technical verification to ensure that they have full right to their Gold.

AMOUNT

This largely depend on a no. of facts like ones age ,profession, salary, the repayment abilty and the value of ornament is among other such factors. it varies between 1500 to 1 crore depending on the lender- as the rule of the thumb, depending on lender. For smaller amount, this may not be much. But for figure remaining into lakh this could make loads of difference.. If one takes this into amount the additional thousands will definitely put a strain on ones finances . TENURE

Generally the maximum tenure of Gold loans is 1 years, with a few lenders offering tenure of months or more. Manapurram Finance offers 1 year loan. The longer the tenure, the more one pay in total interest but ones monthly payment will be less. So depending ones earning potential & bank balance one can choose an appropriate tenure. An important requirement of most of the banks/ NBFCs is that one pays up the entire loan before end of tenure. One can always prepay ones entire loan amount before it is due. There is a trend to do away with the pre-payment penalty being imposed by some lenders. So its best one checks on this as well.

INTEREST RATE

Without doubt the most important parameter to factor into ones calculations. The interest rates may vary from institution to institution. Repayment is in the form of EMI’s (equated monthly installment). The longer the tenure, the more one pays in interest, but ones monthly payment will be less. The interest rate of Manapurram finance is Lowest Gold Loan Interest is 9.90%.The factors that are used by Manappuram to calculate interest on gold loan are loan amount, loan tenure and loan required as a percent of value of gold jewelry. Manappuram’s existing account holders get gold loan at best rates compared to other customers.

REFINANCE

This is concept that is yet to catch on in the Gold loan market but is bound to be a major service in the months to come. Under this facility, one can take a new loan from another bank/NBFC to pay back another loan before its natural tenure. It gives one the opportunity of prepaying ones high cost debt and get a lower cost one. In today’s falling interest rate scenario one should use this vehicle to lower ones debt payment as much as possible. The lender facilitates the shift by paying the outstanding and transferring the asset to other portfolio.

MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES The interest rates and EMI’s are not only the cost factor. Never underestimate how much the processing fee and administration fees amount to. A 0.5% administration fees and 0.5% processing fee on say, a Rs.500000 loan would be Rs.5000. other timesit could be just one fee (either administration or processing but could yet work out to be much more if it is considerably higher at, say, 2.5% or 3%. The various other fees, which one is required to pay along with the margin amount are:

INTEREST TAX:

This is tax payable on the interest paid on a Gold loan and not the principal. This is sometimes included in the interest rate of the loan, or may be charged separately as interest tax.

PROCESSING CHARGE

It is the fee payable to the lender on applying for a loan. It is either a fixed amount not linked to the loan or may be a percent of the loan amunt. The loan amount received by you can be less than processing fee.

PREPAYMENT PENALTIES

When the loan is paid back before the end of the agreed duration a penality is charged by some banks or companies, which is usually between 1% and 2% of the amount being prepaid. Manapurram finance does not charge any prepayment penalties.

FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSION

FINDINGS

1. According to my study different Banks have widest range of Gold loan products.

2. There are two types of rate one is variable and other is fixed rate on Gold loan.

3. The rate of interest of Gold loan is differ for different banks.

4. People get knowledge about Gold loans from television, internet, Newspaper, Media or families and friends.

CONCLUSION For borrowers, gold loans have emerged as one of the best means of raising quick, shortterm capital. For lenders, gold loans are more advanta-geous compared with home and car loans because of the shorter tenures, lower processing time and cost, and greater returns due to higher interest rates. These factors, along with appreciation in value of gold, have led to an explosion in the gold loan market. With everyone wanting a piece of this action, the organized sector is challenging the large unorganized gold loan market dominated by pawnbrokers and moneylenders, with NBFCs leading the pack due to simpler approval and disbursal processes, flexible products and better accessibility.

RECOMMENDATION

The following suggestions are strongly recommended:

✓ ✓ ✓

✓ ✓

To broaden the customer base the vast middle income strata should be fully exploited. Simplify the procedure, reduce service charges & demand only the basic essential proof. Adoption of flexible & more lenient penalty should the

Customer fails to deposit the payment on time. The penalty should be case to case basis rather than the same for the entire customer base. Restriction to be reduced to bare minimum for loan advances & for repayment. For e.g. offers Long term repayment facilities & have no age restriction to choosing repayment. The maximum age for repayment could be increase to 65-70 years of age. Such facility will grow fast retail segment of the bank.

✓ ✓

Offer multiple repayment loans services. Class to be exploited by offering special reduced Rates & linking the repayment from the source where the pay cheque to the employee is issued. This need to undergo special contract with government organization to ensure implementation.
