Rates are the metal value only — they exclude GST and the jeweller's making charges. For information, not investment advice. Confirm the live price with your jeweller before you buy.
| Purity | Per gram | Per 10 g |
|---|---|---|
| 24K999 | ₹14,171 | ₹1,41,710 |
| 22K916 | ₹12,981 | ₹1,29,807 |
| 18K750 | ₹10,628 | ₹1,06,283 |
Your jeweller does not weigh jewellery in tolas or pavans. The scale shows grams, and the bill is built from the per-gram rate for your purity:
Gold value = weight in grams × rate per gram
A 10gram 22K chain, at today’s rate:
10 g × ₹12,981 = ₹1,29,807
That is the gold in the chain. It is not the bill. The shop then adds its making charge (usually 8–25%), 3% GST on the gold, and 5% GST on the making charge.
If the shop’s figure for the metal is far above the line above, ask which rate and which purity they used. You are allowed to ask.
Look for the tiny stamp on the piece. If it says 916 — as almost all Indian gold jewellery does — it is 22K, and the 22K rate above is yours. A 750 stamp means 18K. What the 916 hallmark means →
A gram is the base. Everything else in an Indian shop is a multiple of it:
