Should I buy 22K or 24K gold?

Making charges are fees for crafting gold into jewelry, typically ranging from 8-25% of the gold value. Simple designs cost less (8-12%), while intricate designs cost more (15-25%). See our complete making charges guide.
How can I verify if my gold is genuine?
Check for the BIS hallmark which includes the BIS logo, purity (916 for 22K, 999 for 24K), jeweller's mark, and HUID (6-digit unique ID). You can verify the HUID online at the BIS website. Read our BIS hallmark verification guide.
Are these rates inclusive of GST?
No, the displayed rates are base gold/silver prices per gram and do NOT include GST (3% on gold and silver, 5% on making charges) or making charges. The final price you pay will be higher.
