City Notes

• New Delhi: Expect higher retail premiums in central markets; always insist on BIS hallmark and a clear invoice.
• Mumbai: Competitive pricing in many retail clusters — compare making charges across jewellers.
• Bengaluru: Strong demand for lightweight, 22K designs; check net weight on invoice for intricate pieces.
• Chennai: Local preference for traditional 22K jewellery — verify wastage policies on custom pieces.
• Hyderabad: Popular for bridal jewellery; confirm hallmark and buy‑back terms before purchase.
• Kolkata: Look for standardised making‑charge slabs; negotiate on heavier pieces where possible.

What Drives Today’s Prices

• Global spot gold: International bullion moves set the base for Indian retail rates.
• INR/USD exchange: A weaker rupee raises import costs and pushes local prices higher; rupee strength can temper retail quotes.
• Import duty & taxes: Customs duty and GST structure affect landed cost and final retail pricing.
• MCX futures & local cues: Domestic futures trading influences short‑term retail sentiment and dealer margins.
• Local demand & seasonality: Festivals, wedding season and regional demand pockets push up premiums and making charges.

Buyer Tips

• Prefer BIS hallmark: Always buy BIS‑hallmarked gold and verify the karat stamp on the piece.
• 24K vs 22K: 24K (999) is pure but soft; 22K (916) balances purity with durability for everyday wear.
• Making charges & wastage: These are retailer‑specific and often non‑negotiable on branded items — ask for a breakup on the invoice.
• Buy‑back & resale terms: Check buy‑back rates, purity verification method and whether the jeweller deducts extra for resale.
• Compare net price: For heavy purchases, compare total landed cost (gold price + making + GST) across multiple trusted jewellers.

FAQs

• Q: Why do gold rates change during the day?
  A: Rates track global bullion, currency swings, and domestic futures; dealers update retail quotes intra‑day to reflect these moves.
• Q: How can I confirm the purity of a gold item?
  A: Look for the BIS hallmark, karat stamp (e.g., 22K or 24K) and ask for a certificate or assay if available.
• Q: What are making charges and can they be negotiated?
  A: Making charges cover craftsmanship and design effort; some jewellers negotiate on heavy or plain pieces but branded items usually have fixed charges.
• Q: When is the best time to buy gold?
  A: There is no perfect timing; consider price dips, festive discounts, or personal need. For investments, spread purchases over time to average cost.
