What buyers should know
The rates mentioned above are indicative market rates and may not be the final amount paid by jewellery buyers. The actual price of jewellery can be higher after adding GST, making charges, wastage charges and other applicable costs.
Gold rates can also differ slightly between jewellers and cities because of local market conditions, taxes and other pricing components.
For buyers planning to purchase gold or silver, checking the latest rate shortly before making a transaction is important because bullion prices can move quickly in response to international markets.
