How is the gold price calculated in Rishikesh?
The gold rate in Rishikesh is calculated using international gold prices as the starting point, followed by adjustments for currency movements, purity, import duties, taxes, and local charges. The final retail price can vary between jewellers based on making charges and margins.
The key factors involved are:
- International gold price: Gold is traded globally in US dollars per troy ounce. This provides the base price for domestic gold rates.
- USD-INR exchange rate: The international price is converted into Indian rupees. A weaker rupee can increase the domestic gold price.
- Gold purity: The price is adjusted according to purity. 24K gold is approximately 99.9% pure, while 22K gold is approximately 91.6% pure.
- Import duty and taxes: Applicable import duties and GST contribute to the domestic price.
- Making charges: For jewellery, making charges and the jeweller's margin are added to the gold value and may differ across Rishikesh.
Sample calculation: If the base 24K gold price is ₹10,000 per gram, 10 grams would have a gold value of ₹1,00,000. At 3% GST, the GST would be ₹3,000, making the total ₹1,03,000 before applicable making charges or other costs.
Therefore, the gold price in Rishikesh can differ slightly between jewellers even when the underlying market rate is similar.

Major factors that influence gold rates in Rishikesh
Gold prices in Rishikesh are influenced by several domestic and international factors. Understanding these factors can help you make informed decisions before buying gold, investing, or applying for a gold loan.
- International gold prices: Gold is traded globally, so any increase or decrease in international gold prices usually affects gold rates in Rishikesh.
- USD-INR exchange rate: Since India imports most of its gold, fluctuations in the exchange rate directly influence domestic gold prices. A weaker rupee generally leads to higher gold prices.

- Import duty and GST: Government-imposed import duty and GST are added to the base gold price. Any revisions to these taxes can influence the final price paid by buyers.
- IBJA benchmark rates: Many jewellers and lenders use the benchmark prices published daily by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) for gold valuation.
- Local demand: Gold demand usually rises during festivals, weddings, and other special occasions. Increased local demand can lead to slight price differences among jewellers in Rishikesh.
- Government policies: Changes in import duty or GST rates feed directly into what buyers in Rishikesh pay.

How does the gold price in Rishikesh today affect your gold loan amount?
The gold rate on the day your gold is assessed plays an important role in determining your eligible loan amount. When gold prices are higher, the value of your pledged gold also increases, which may result in a higher eligible loan amount. If gold prices decline, the eligible loan amount may also reduce.
The final loan amount depends on the applicable Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio, the purity of your gold, and the lender's valuation process.
What decides your eligible loan amount?
Your eligible loan amount depends on the following factors:
- 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 loan amount is calculated using the applicable LTV ratio, which varies depending on the loan amount.
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 the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. The applicable LTV ratio must be maintained throughout the loan tenure and may change in accordance with RBI guidelines and the lender's policy.
