City-wise Variations

Gold rates may slightly differ between cities due to logistics, store premiums, and local competition. Treat the above numbers as a benchmark and verify with your local jeweller before purchase.

Smart Buying Tips

• Insist on BIS hallmarking.
• Check that the invoice lists purity, weight, applied rate, making charges, and taxes.
• Understand the store’s buyback policy and any deductions.
• Keep certificates and packaging for coins and bars.

For investors and buyers, smart purchasing decisions, checking making charges, and selecting the right product type—coin, bar, or jewellery—can make a tangible difference.
