What Drives Today’s Prices
- Global spot gold: International bullion prices set a base that local retailers follow.
- INR/USD movement: A stronger rupee typically eases imported gold costs; a weaker rupee raises local listed rates.
- Import duty and taxes: Customs duty, GST and other levies add to retail pricing and vary with policy changes.
- MCX and futures cues: Domestic futures influence near‑term retail quotes and merchant hedging costs.
- Local demand & festivals: Seasonal buying, weddings and regional demand pockets affect premiums and making charges.
Buyer Tips
- Prefer BIS hallmark: Always insist on BIS hallmark and a clear karatage stamp (22K, 24K) on the invoice.
- 24K vs 22K: 24K is purer but softer; 22K is alloyed for durability—choose based on use (investment vs daily wear).
- Making charges & wastage: These are charged separately and can vary widely by design—get a full breakup in writing.
- Check buy-back & invoice: Confirm buy‑back rates, certificate retention, and that the invoice shows weight, purity and detailed charges.
FAQs
- Q: Are these rates final prices I will pay? A: These are retail quoted metal rates per 10g; final payable amount includes making charges, taxes and any local premium—confirm the net bill with the jeweller.
- Q: How do I verify purity? A: Look for the BIS hallmark and karat stamp on the jewellery and ensure the invoice records purity (22K/24K) and weight.
- Q: Why do making charges vary so much? A: Making charges depend on design complexity, labor, store policy and whether charges are percentage‑based or fixed per gram—ask for a written breakup.
- Q: When is the best time to buy gold? A: For lower prices, watch for dips in global spot gold and a strengthening rupee; for jewellery purchases, consider seasonal discounts and negotiated making charges rather than chasing small day‑to‑day metal moves.
