What Drives Today’s Prices
- Global spot gold: International bullion prices set the base for local 24K quotes.
- INR/USD moves: A weaker rupee raises rupee gold rates; a stronger rupee eases landed cost.
- Import duty & taxes: Customs duty and GST on jewellery influence retail pricing and margins.
- MCX & domestic futures: Exchange cues and hedging by jewellers affect day-to-day retail quotes.
- Local demand & festivals: Regional demand spikes and retailer inventory levels can add premiums or discounts.
Buyer Tips
- Prefer BIS hallmark: Always buy hallmarked pieces; verify karatage (24K/22K) on the bill and the piece.
- 24K vs 22K: 24K is purer (more gold) but softer; 22K is harder and better for daily-wear jewellery.
- Making charges & wastage: These are added on top of metal rates—compare by design and weight rather than headline gold rate alone.
- Buy-back & invoice: Get a proper invoice and check buy-back or exchange policies; ask if buy-back uses current gold rates or fixed slabs.
FAQs
- Q: Are these rates per 10g final retail prices? A: These are metal-rate quotes per 10g; final retail price includes making charges, GST, and any local premium.
- Q: How do I confirm purity? A: Look for BIS hallmark and karat stamp (24K/22K) on the item; match it with the invoice description.
- Q: What are making charges? A: Fees levied by jewellers for crafting/design; they vary by design complexity and are typically charged per gram or as a fixed amount.
- Q: When is the best time to buy? A: For price sensitivity, monitor rupee strength and international spot gold; for occasions, buy when local promotions reduce making charges or offer assured buy-back.
