In India, rates may vary slightly across cities and states due to local demand, transportation costs, dealer margins, taxes and market conditions.

How gold prices are calculated in Cooch Behar
Gold prices in Cooch Behar are calculated using the per-gram rate for a chosen purity, multiplied by the weight of gold being priced. The formula: gold price = per-gram rate (for that purity) × weight in grams. For jewellery, making charges and 3% GST are added separately on top of this base gold value.
Sample calculation (illustrative): If the 22K rate is Rs. 6,905 per gram (illustrative) and you're pricing 10 grams, the gold value works out to 10 × Rs. 6,905 = Rs. 69,050 (illustrative). For jewellery, making charges and 3% GST are added separately on top of this base gold value, so the final shop bill will be higher than this figure.
A few factors shape the rate you see in Cooch Behar on any given day:
- International gold prices: Since gold is traded globally, movement in international prices flows directly into local rates.
- USD-INR exchange rate: A weaker rupee makes imported gold costlier, since India imports most of its gold.
- IBJA benchmark rates: The Indian Bullion and Jewellers Association publishes daily reference rates widely used across the industry.
- Local dealer margins and transport costs: These vary by city, so Cooch Behar's rate can differ slightly from nearby towns or from the state average.
- Local demand: Wedding season, festivals, and religious occasions can push local demand and prices up.

How are gold prices determined in Cooch Behar?
The gold price today in Cooch Behar changes every day due to a combination of international and domestic factors. Understanding these factors can help you make better decisions when purchasing gold, investing, or applying for a gold loan.
Some of the key factors that influence gold rates in Cooch Behar include:
- International gold prices: Gold prices in India closely follow movements in the global gold market.
- USD-INR exchange rate: Since gold is imported into India, fluctuations in the value of the rupee against the US dollar directly affect domestic gold prices.
- Import duty and GST: Government taxes and import duties contribute to the final retail price of gold.
- Local demand: Gold prices may rise during festivals, weddings, and other peak buying seasons due to increased demand.
- Inflation and economic conditions: Gold is considered a safe-haven asset, so demand often increases during periods of inflation or economic uncertainty.
- Government policies: Changes in taxation, import regulations, or monetary policies can also impact gold prices.
Monitoring these factors helps you better understand daily price movements and plan your gold purchases or investments accordingly.
What is the difference between 18K, 22K, and 24K gold?
The Gold purity is measured in karats, where a higher karat means a higher proportion of pure gold and a lower share of other metals mixed in for strength.
- 18K gold contains 75% pure gold and 25% other metals. It is commonly used for diamond-studded and designer jewellery, since the added metals make it more durable for intricate settings.
- 22K gold contains 91.6% pure gold. It is widely used for traditional jewellery in India because it balances purity with enough strength for daily wear.
- 24K gold contains 99.9% pure gold. It is the softest and most malleable form, so it's generally preferred for investment purposes such as gold coins and bars rather than jewellery.
| Parameter | 18K Gold | 22K Gold | 24K Gold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purity | 75% | 91.6% | 99.9% |
| Strength | Highest | High | Lower |
| Common Use | Diamond jewellery and daily wear jewellery | Traditional jewellery | Investment bars and coins |
| Price | Lowest | Higher | Highest |

How to calculate gold value in Cooch Behar?
The value of your gold in Cooch Behar depends on three factors: gold weight, gold purity, and the current gold rate. The formula is simple: gold value = gold weight × current gold rate.
Sample calculation (illustrative)
Suppose a customer in Cooch Behar owns:
- 20 grams of 22K gold
- Current 22K gold rate: Rs. 6,905 per gram (illustrative)
Estimated gold value:
20 × Rs. 6,905 = Rs. 1,38,100 (illustrative)
This calculation gives an estimate of your gold's value based on prevailing market rates. Keep in mind that this figure reflects gold content only — if you're selling or exchanging jewellery, making charges and other deductions may apply separately.
If you want to know how much loan amount your gold may support, the next step is to estimate your gold loan eligibility.

How does the gold price in Cooch Behar today affect your gold loan amount?
The gold rate today in Cooch Behar directly affects the amount you may be eligible to borrow against your pledged gold. When gold prices increase, the value of your gold rises too, which may result in a higher eligible loan amount — and if gold prices decline, the eligible amount may reduce.
What decides your eligible loan amount?
Your eligible gold loan amount is determined by:
- Weight of your gold
- Purity of your gold
- Applicable gold rate on the day of assessment
- Applicable Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio
Only the intrinsic value of your gold is considered during valuation. Stones and other embellishments attached to the jewellery are not included.
The final loan amount depends on the applicable LTV ratio, the purity of your gold, and the gold price used for valuation. The valuation is based on the lower of the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. The applicable LTV ratio must be maintained throughout the loan tenure and may change as per RBI guidelines and the lender's policy.
The maximum LTV ratio applicable depends on the loan amount and is subject to RBI mandated limits.
