Techniques to check the purity of gold
Checking the purity of gold involves several simple techniques that can be done. These techniques can offer a basic understanding of gold purity, but for precise measurements. It is recommended to consult a certified jeweller or a professional gold assayer.
- BIS hallmark: Look for the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmark on the gold item, ensuring it meets established purity standards.
- Magnifying glass: Use a magnifying glass to inspect the gold closely. Look for stamps like "24K," "999," or "9999," indicating the highest purity.
- Colour and shine: Authentic gold has a distinct bright yellow hue and maintains a consistent shine. Discolouration or dullness may suggest impurities.
- Magnetic test: Real gold is not magnetic. If the gold attracts a magnet, it might not be pure.
- Professional assessment: For precise verification, consult a certified jeweller or gold assayer. They can conduct advanced tests for accurate purity determination.
Remember, while these methods provide basic insights, for accurate results, it is advisable to seek assistance from a certified jeweller or a professional gold dealer.
How can you estimate the value of gold in Nandyal?
You can get an indicative estimate of your gold value by considering its net weight, purity and the applicable rate for the same purity. This can help you understand what your gold may be worth before selling it or using it as collateral.
What goes into the estimate?
The main details are:
- Net weight of eligible gold
- Gold purity
- Applicable gold rate per gram
Gold value formula
Gold value = Net gold weight × Applicable gold rate per gram
Example
Suppose you have 40 grams of 22K gold and the applicable 22K rate is Rs. 14,250 per gram.
Estimated value:
40 × Rs. 14,250 = Rs. 5,70,000
This is an indicative calculation based on the assumed rate. The value considered for a gold loan may differ after assessing the actual purity, net gold weight and applicable valuation method. Stones, gems and other non-gold parts are excluded.
If you plan to borrow against your gold, its assessed value and applicable LTV limit will help determine the amount you may be eligible to borrow.
What is the best investment option: physical gold, gold ETFs, or sovereign gold bonds?
Selecting the best investment option from physical gold, Gold ETFs, and Sovereign Gold Bonds depends on your preferences and financial objectives. Physical gold gives you a tangible asset but requires secure storage. Gold ETFs are digital and easily traded but do not accrue interest. Sovereign Gold Bonds offer interest rates, and the tax implications vary based on maturity. To make a well-informed decision, stay updated on the current gold price in India and regularly monitor live gold prices to understand market trends.

Impact of gold rates on gold loans
The applicable gold rate can affect the assessed value of your eligible gold and the amount you may be able to borrow. However, a change in the gold rate alone does not decide the final loan amount. Purity, net weight, valuation and the applicable Loan-to-Value (LTV) limit also matter.
What is checked before deciding your loan amount?
The assessment mainly considers:
- Purity of eligible gold
- Net weight of the gold
- Applicable gold valuation rate
- LTV limit
Stones, gems, enamel and other non-gold parts are excluded from the valuation. Only the eligible gold content is considered.
Please note: For valuation, Bajaj Finance considers the lower of the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price for the relevant purity, as published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. The applicable LTV limit is then used to determine the eligible loan amount.
The maximum LTV depends on the loan amount. To know more, click here.
