Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 24K, 22K, and 18K gold?▼
24K gold is 99.9% pure but too soft for durable jewelry. 22K gold contains 91.6% gold alloyed with metals like copper and silver for strength, making it the industry standard for traditional Indian jewelry. 18K contains 75% gold and is commonly used for diamond-studded ornaments.
How are making charges calculated on gold jewelry?▼
Jewelers charge making fees either as a percentage of the net gold value (e.g., 10% to 20%) or as a flat rate per gram (e.g., ₹400 to ₹900 per gram) depending on design complexity and machine versus hand craftsmanship.
What is the GST rate on gold jewelry in India?▼
The Government of India levies a uniform 3% GST on gold purchases. This 3% tax is applied to the combined total of the gold metal value and the making charges.
Are making charges refundable when selling or exchanging gold?▼
No. Making charges represent the labor and manufacturing cost of fabricating the ornament. When selling or exchanging gold, jewellers only pay for the net weight of pure gold alloy recovered.
Why should gemstone weights be excluded from gold calculation?▼
Gemstones are significantly lighter than gold by volume. If a jeweler includes stones in the gross weight on the scale, you end up paying premium gold rates for much cheaper stone materials.
What is BIS Hallmarking?▼
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Hallmarking is mandatory certification in India that verifies gold purity. A genuine hallmark includes the BIS logo, purity fineness (e.g., 22K916), and a unique 6-digit alphanumeric HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification) code.
