    1. Thank you for pointing this error Balachandar. We have corrected the interest rate table. Pls share your address to suresh @ myinvestmentideas.com, I would send a token of appreciation. Thank you once again for keeping our blog accurate.

  1. The word “secured” may be misleading – subservient (i.e. second charge) charge on receivables and a small piece of land – but the company is primarily a gold loan company – how this is possible? does this not amount to cheating? Investors beware.
