• Kolkata: Look for certified hallmarking; credible jewellers provide clear assay reports.
• Ahmedabad: Competitive wholesale-to-retail links — negotiate making charges on off-the-shelf pieces.
• Pune: Local festivals influence demand spikes; confirm stock availability for larger orders.
• Surat: Jewellery manufacturing hub — sometimes offers lower premiums on plain pieces.
• Jaipur: Gem and polki demand can raise overall costs; check for added gemstone premiums.

What Drives Today’s Prices

• Global spot gold: International bullion benchmarks set a base that local retail quotes follow.
• INR/USD movement: A weaker rupee raises local rupee gold rates even if dollar gold is steady.
• Import duty and taxes: Customs duties and GST influence landed cost and retail pricing structure.
• MCX and domestic futures: Exchange trading and futures positions can signal near-term price direction.
• Local demand and inventory: Festival seasons, weddings and jeweller stock levels affect premiums and making fees.

Buyer Tips

• Prefer BIS hallmark: Always buy BIS-hallmarked gold (hallmark guarantees purity and is widely accepted).
• Verify karatage: 24K is pure gold (soft, prone to damage); 22K is alloyed for durability — choose by use-case.
• Understand making charges: Making charges and wastage are additional and vary widely — ask for a breakup in the invoice.
• Check buy-back and resale terms: Ask jewellers for buy-back rates and whether they accept the same piece later.
• Get a proper invoice: Invoice should list purity, gross weight, labour charges, GST and net payable amount.

FAQs

• Q: Are these rates final retail prices?
  A: These are indicative retail rates per 10g; final price depends on jeweller’s making charges, taxes and local premiums.
• Q: How to read purity marks?
  A: Look for BIS hallmark and karat stamp (24K or 22K). 24K is near-pure gold; 22K has alloys for strength.
• Q: What are making charges?
  A: Making charges are labour fees for crafting jewellery; they vary by design complexity and are typically charged separately from metal value.
• Q: When is the best time to buy gold?
  A: Prices can be marginally better on non-festival weekdays and when global gold weakens; long-term buyers focus on need and affordability rather than timing short-term swings.

Disclaimer: Rates vary by jeweller, locality, and time. Confirm locally before purchase.
