• Uniform clusters: Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata show identical posted rates today (₹130726.40 for 24K and ₹119832.53 for 22K per 10g).

City Notes

• New Delhi: Highest headline rates — expect slightly higher retail premiums and brisk demand in premium store locations.
• Mumbai: Lower quoted rates among headlines; compare making charges across trusted jewellers in Zaveri Bazaar and linking markets.
• Bengaluru: Stable city pricing; check BIS hallmark and ask for itemized making-charge breakup at purchase.
• Chennai: Strong retail competition — possible marginally lower making charges at local, established showrooms.
• Hyderabad: Traditional demand pockets can command premium for handcrafted pieces; verify net weight and wastage charges.
• Kolkata: Standard posted rates; negotiate making charges and confirm hallmarking on the invoice for resale/ buy-back.

What Drives Today’s Prices

• Global spot gold: International bullion moves set the base; safe-haven flows and US Treasury yields are key near-term factors.
• INR–USD exchange: A weaker rupee raises local rupee prices even if dollar gold is flat; conversely, a stronger rupee cushions import costs.
• Import duty & taxes: Customs duty and GST structure affect retail pricing indirectly through importers and jewellers.
• MCX futures & local trading: Domestic futures on MCX provide directional cues; intraday retail quotes often track these moves.
• Local demand & seasonality: Festivals, weddings and regional demand pockets influence premiums and making charges at the store level.

Buyer Tips

• Prefer BIS hallmark: Always buy BIS-hallmarked gold and verify the stamp (hallmark shows purity and jeweller ARN in India).
• 24K vs 22K: 24K (99.9%) is pure but softer and prone to damage; 22K (91.6%) is more durable for jewellery — choose per use and design.
• Making charges and wastage: These are labour/ craftsmanship costs and vary hugely by design and retailer — insist on an itemized invoice.
• Buy-back/return policy: Check buy-back rates, deduction norms and documentation; preserve the purchase invoice and hallmark certificate.

FAQs

• Q: Are daily quoted rates the price I pay?
  A: Quoted rates are base metal prices; final bill includes making charges, GST and any retailer premium.
• Q: How do I confirm purity?
  A: Look for a BIS hallmark and ask for the purity certificate; karat marking (22K/24K) should be on the piece or invoice.
• Q: Why do making charges vary so much?
  A: Complexity of design, retailer policy, brand premium and regional labour costs determine making charges.
• Q: When is a good time to buy?
  A: Short-term timing is uncertain; consider buying during neutral/declining domestic prices, off-peak demand, or stagger purchases to average cost.
