Understanding 916 gold rate calculations in Bangalore

  • International gold price: Gold is traded globally in US dollars per troy ounce. This international price forms the base for calculating gold prices in India.

  • Gold purity: Gold prices vary depending on purity. Since 916 gold (22K) contains 91.6% pure gold, its price differs from 24K and 18K gold.
  • Import duty: India imports a significant portion of its gold. Applicable import duties are added before gold reaches the domestic market.
  • GST: A 3% GST is charged on the value of gold, while making charges attract 5% GST.
  • Making charges: Jewellers add making charges and their own margins to the gold price. These charges vary between jewellers and may result in small differences in the final selling price.

Most jewellers and lenders in Bangalore use the IBJA daily benchmark as the reference gold price. This keeps gold rates broadly similar across the city, while making charges account for most differences in the final selling price.
