About Gold Overdraft (OD) Interest Calculator
A gold OD turns your pledge into a credit line instead of a lump sum: the bank sanctions a limit against the ornaments, and interest accrues only on what you actually draw, only for the days it stays drawn. The defaults — ₹1,50,000 drawn for 45 days at 10.5% against a ₹3,00,000 limit — cost about ₹1,941, versus a full term loan's interest on the whole amount for the whole tenure. This is the right structure for irregular needs: a trader covering purchase spikes, a family bridging fee deadlines, anyone who'd otherwise take a loan 'just in case'. Repayments hit the OD account and stop interest the same day; redrawing later needs no fresh paperwork while the pledge stands. Banks typically charge a small annual maintenance/renewal fee on the limit itself. Watch two numbers: the daily-interest figure (your true cost of procrastination — sweep idle cash in immediately), and utilization. Persistently maxed utilization converts an OD's flexibility into an expensive perpetual loan; at that point a plain EMI gold loan at a lower scheme rate usually beats the OD. The OD's economics shine below ~60% average utilization.

Frequently asked questions
OD me interest kab aur kaise lagta hai?+
Roz ke closing debit balance par: jis din ₹1,50,000 nikla, us din se us amount par daily interest (yahan ~₹43/din) lagta hai; jis din ₹50,000 wapas daala, usi din se sirf ₹1,00,000 par lagta hai. Mahine ke ant me accrued interest account me debit hota hai. Nahi nikala to nahi lagta.
Gold OD versus gold term loan — how do I choose?+
OD if your need is intermittent or uncertain — you pay for usage, not sanction. Term loan (EMI/bullet) if you'll deploy the full amount for the full period, since scheme rates on term loans often undercut OD rates by 0.5–1.5%. Estimate your average drawn balance and days; this calculator prices the OD side precisely.
Does interest compound in a gold overdraft?+
Effectively yes, monthly: accrued interest debits to the OD account, increasing the balance on which the next month's daily interest accrues — unless you service it. Sweeping in at least the interest amount each month keeps the line clean and your LTV from creeping toward the 75% cap.
Can the bank cut my OD limit if gold prices fall?+
Yes — the limit rides on collateral value, marked periodically to market. A meaningful price fall can trigger a limit reduction or a margin request, exactly like a term gold loan's LTV breach. Keeping average utilization moderate doubles as your price-volatility buffer.
