Understanding Loans
A loan is a financial tool where individuals or businesses borrow a specific amount from financial institutions or private lenders to meet various financial needs. It involves repayment of the borrowed sum along with agreed-upon interest over a fixed period.

Types of Loans
- Secured Loans
Secured loans require collateral (such as property or securities) as a guarantee for repayment. This lowers the risk for lenders, resulting in lower interest rates and longer repayment periods.
Examples: Mortgage loans, gold loans, loans against securities. - Unsecured Loans
Unsecured loans do not require collateral, relying solely on the borrower’s creditworthiness. These typically have higher interest rates due to increased risk for the lender.
Examples: Credit cards, personal loans.

Loans and Investments
Loans are also viewed as investment instruments, especially in the form of bonds. Bonds offer regular interest payments and are issued by governments or companies to raise funds from investors.
