What Drives Today’s Prices

• Global spot gold: International bullion prices set the base; local rates follow global trends with a lag.
• INR–USD movement: A weaker rupee raises domestic rupee prices for imported gold; a stronger rupee eases them.
• Import duties and taxes: Customs duty, GST and other levies affect retail pricing and dealer behaviour.
• MCX futures and local cues: Domestic exchange rates and futures trading influence short-term retail quotes.
• Local demand and festivals: Weddings, festivals and regional demand pockets can push premiums and making charges up.

Buyer Tips

• Prefer BIS hallmark: Always buy jewellery with a valid BIS hallmark and ensure the karatage (22K/24K) is stamped.
• 24K vs 22K: 24K is pure gold (softer, pricier per gram); 22K is more durable for everyday wear — choose by use-case.
• Making charges & wastage: These are variable and often negotiable; ask for itemised making charges (% or absolute) before purchase.
• Compare buy-back & invoice terms: Verify the buy-back policy, net weight, purity, GST and whether making charges are refunded on resale.
• Weigh & verify: Check gross/net weight on bill and inspect hallmark; consider asking for a magnet or density check if unsure.

FAQs

• Q: Are these rates final retail rates I’ll pay?
  A: These are city-wise benchmark rates per 10g; final price includes making charges, GST and any shop premium — confirm with the jeweller.
• Q: How do I confirm purity?
  A: Look for the BIS hallmark showing purity and jeweller’s ID; request a detailed invoice showing karatage and net gold weight.
• Q: What are making charges and why do they vary?
  A: Making charges cover labour and design complexity; they differ by shop, design and region and may be fixed or percentage-based.
• Q: When is the best time to buy?
  A: Prices fluctuate intraday with global and currency moves; outside of festivals and wedding seasons you may find lower premiums — compare outlets and buy on a dip if timing allows.
