The gold price in Chandigarh is calculated through a series of steps that combine international prices, currency exchange rates, import costs and domestic market factors before reaching the final retail price.

• International gold price: The calculation starts with the global gold price, which is quoted in US dollars per troy ounce.
• Currency conversion: The international price is converted into Indian Rupees using the prevailing USD/INR exchange rate.
• Conversion to grams: Since one troy ounce equals 31.1035 grams, the converted price is divided by 31.1035 to determine the price per gram.
• Import duty and related costs: As India imports most of its gold, applicable import duty and other import-related charges are added to the base price.
• Taxes and domestic costs: Transportation, insurance, handling costs, and applicable taxes are included in determining the domestic gold price.
• Market demand and supply: Local demand, festive buying, wedding seasons and overall market conditions may influence daily gold rates in Chandigarh.
• IBJA benchmark rate: Organisations such as the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) publish benchmark gold rates that serve as a reference for jewellers and lenders across the country.
• Making charges for jewellery: When purchasing jewellery, jewellers add making charges along with applicable GST to arrive at the final retail price paid by customers.

Gold prices in Chandigarh have generally increased over the years. While prices may rise or fall in the short term, the overall trend over the past decade has been upward.
 

How does the gold price in Chandigarh today affect your gold loan amount?

The rate used to value your gold is the one that applies on the day you walk in, not what gold was worth last month or what you originally paid for the jewellery. A higher rate in Chandigarh today means the same piece supports a larger loan. If prices have dipped, the eligible amount comes down accordingly.

Today's rate directly decides how much you can borrow. Check your gold loan eligibility now to see your current borrowing capacity.

How is gold loan eligibility calculated?

Four things determine how much you can borrow against your gold:

• The weight of your gold
• Its purity
• The applicable gold rate on the day of assessment
• The Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio 

Decorative elements like stones, enamel, or meenakari work are not included in the valuation. Only the actual gold content counts.

The final loan amount also depends on the lower of either the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. The LTV ratio must be maintained throughout the loan tenure and may be revised as per RBI guidelines and lender policies.

The loan amount is determined using the applicable LTV ratio, which varies by loan size. To know more, click here.
