Gold Buying Guide & Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding Gold Prices in India
Gold prices in India are determined by multiple factors including international gold rates, USD to INR exchange rates, import duties, GST, and local market dynamics. The base price is derived from the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) gold fix, which is then converted to Indian Rupees and adjusted for taxes and duties. Currently, gold attracts a 15% import duty plus 3% GST, making Indian gold prices higher than international rates.
How to Use Our Gold Calculator
Our gold price calculator helps you determine the accurate value of gold based on current market rates. Simply enter the weight of gold you want to calculate, select the unit (grams, tola, or ounce), choose the purity level (24K, 22K, 18K, or 14K), and select your city for location-specific pricing. The calculator instantly provides the estimated market value, which you can use as a reference when buying or selling gold.
The best time to buy gold in India depends on various factors. Traditionally, prices tend to dip during off-seasons (May-July) when wedding demand is lower. Auspicious days like Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras often see special offers from jewelers, though prices may be slightly higher due to demand. For investment purposes, experts recommend systematic buying through Gold SIPs or purchasing during market corrections rather than timing the market. Monitor our daily price charts to identify favorable buying opportunities and trends.
22K gold is preferred for jewelry in India because pure 24K gold is too soft and malleable for intricate designs and daily wear. By mixing 91.67% gold with 8.33% other metals like copper, silver, or zinc, 22K gold achieves the perfect balance of purity and durability. This alloy maintains gold's beautiful luster while being strong enough to hold detailed craftsmanship that Indian jewelry is famous for. However, for investment purposes like gold coins and bars, 24K gold is preferred due to its higher purity and standardized value.
Making charges are additional fees jewelers charge for crafting gold into jewelry, typically ranging from 8% to 35% of the gold value depending on the design complexity. Simple chains and bangles have lower making charges (8-15%), while intricate pieces like bridal sets or antique designs can have charges up to 35% or more. When buying, always ask for a detailed breakdown showing gold weight, gold rate, making charges, and GST separately. For selling jewelry, note that jewelers typically don't buy back at the making charge price, so you'll receive only the gold's intrinsic metal value.
