City Notes

• New Delhi: Higher base rates often reflect heavier local demand and larger retail margins — check hallmarking and invoice breakdown carefully.
• Mumbai: One of the more competitive markets on base price; negotiate making charges and confirm buy-back policies.
• Bengaluru: Mid-to-high range pricing; look for certified BIS-hallmarked pieces to ensure purity.
• Chennai: Stable pricing across stores; many customers prefer local trusted jewellers — verify making charge slabs for designs.
• Hyderabad: Similar to Chennai/Kolkata — demand pockets around festivals can push premiums up.
• Kolkata: Prices align with southern metros; always ask for complete invoices and hallmark details before payment.

What Drives Today’s Prices

• Global spot gold: International bullion benchmarks set the base; bullion market direction overnight affects local open rates.
• INR/USD movement: A weaker rupee raises import costs for gold, lifting domestic prices; a stronger rupee typically eases upward pressure.
• Import duty and taxes: India’s import duty structure and state-level taxes add to the landed cost and can create regional variations.
• MCX and domestic futures: Indian commodity exchanges influence dealer hedging and short-term retail pricing through futures-based cues.
• Local demand and seasonal trends: Festivals, wedding seasons and regional demand spikes drive premiums and making-charge adjustments at the store level.

Buyer Tips

• Prefer BIS hallmark: Always buy BIS-hallmarked jewellery (hallmark shows purity and assay centre); ask for a proper hallmark certificate.
• Verify karatage: Check whether the piece is 24K (999) or 22K (916); 24K is purer but softer, 22K is more durable for daily wear.
• Understand making charges: Making charges or wastage are added on top of metal rates; these vary by design and jeweller and are negotiable for plain items.
• Check buy-back & invoice: Request a detailed invoice showing metal rate per gram, making charges and hallmark; clarify buy-back terms and rates before purchase.

FAQs

• Q: Do daily gold rates include making charges?
  A: No — the published base rates are for metal only (per 10g); making charges, taxes and other fees are added at the point of sale.
• Q: How can I confirm purity?
  A: Look for the BIS hallmark and karat stamp (e.g., 22K or 24K) and ask for an assay or certificate when purchasing.
• Q: Are making charges standardized?
  A: No — making charges vary widely by jeweller, design complexity and city; compare quotes and negotiate on plain items.
• Q: When is the best time to buy gold?
  A: Short-term timing is hard to predict; long-term buyers should focus on purity, total cost and need. For lower premiums, avoid peak festival or wedding seasons when demand pushes prices up.
