Please note, the prices above are indicative and may on appear on your final bill because the making charges and 3% GST have not been included. Moreover, rates may vary by a few rupees at each store. So compare before you commit. For instance, a 10-gram 22 karat piece with 10% making charges attracts GST of ₹4,417, taking the total to about ₹1,51,652.

One should ask about exchange terms as well if you intend to trade in old gold. This is because the deduction for making charges is often the largest single variable in the transaction. Buyers should also confirm the BIS hallmark with a six-digit HUID on the new piece before leaving the counter.
