  • Import duties and taxes: Changes in import duty, GST and other applicable government charges affect the overall cost of gold.
  • RBI policy and interest rates: Monetary-policy decisions may influence whether investors prefer gold or interest-bearing assets.
  • Inflation: Gold is sometimes considered a store of value during periods of rising inflation, which may increase investor demand.
  • Local demand: Jewellery demand can rise during weddings, festivals and auspicious occasions in Visakhapatnam, potentially contributing to short-term price differences.

Checking gold purity in Visakhapatnam

Verifying purity is essential before buying, selling or pledging gold. The following professional methods can help assess the gold content of an item:

  • BIS hallmark: A BIS hallmark indicates that the item has been tested according to prescribed purity standards. Buyers should verify the hallmark and HUID.
  • X-ray fluorescence testing: This non-destructive method uses X-rays to analyse the metal composition of the item.
  • Electronic gold testing: An electronic tester assesses certain properties of the metal to provide a quick purity reading.
  • Acid testing: A trained professional applies an appropriate testing acid and studies the reaction to estimate purity.
  • Assay testing: A certified assayer uses specialised techniques to determine the gold content accurately.
  • Density testing: The density of the item is compared with the known density of pure gold. Stones, hollow designs and other materials can affect the result.

At-home methods such as magnet or ceramic tests cannot confirm purity conclusively. For a reliable assessment, consult a certified jeweller or professional assayer. 


Once your jewellery’s purity has been assessed, you can check your gold loan eligibility to see whether the gold meets the applicable collateral requirements.


How can you calculate the value of your gold?

You can estimate the indicative value of gold using its net weight, purity and the applicable rate per gram.

Formula

Gold value = Net gold weight × Applicable gold rate per gram

For example, if you have 50 grams of gold and the applicable rate is Rs. 12,000 per gram:

50 × Rs. 12,000 = Rs. 6,00,000

This calculation provides an indicative market value. The actual jewellery purchase or resale value may differ because of making charges, taxes, deductions and seller policies.

Gold prices today in Visakhapatnam directly affect the value of gold investments. When gold prices rise, the value of physical gold, Gold ETFs, and Sovereign Gold Bonds generally increases.

How does the gold price in Visakhapatnam affect your gold loan amount?

The gold value used at the time of assessment helps decide how much you may borrow. The price you paid when you bought the jewellery, ornament or coin, or an older gold rate, does not determine the loan amount. If the applicable gold value is higher, the same gold may support a larger loan. If it is lower, the eligible amount may reduce.


What decides your eligible loan amount?

Your gold loan amount mainly depends on:

  • Weight of the gold
  • Purity of the gold
  • Applicable gold price
  • Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio

Only the actual gold content is counted during valuation. Stones, enamel, beads, and other non-gold parts are not included. We do not simply use today's headline rate. We use whichever is lower between the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. This protects you from a sudden price spike inflating things unrealistically and protects us from the opposite.

Please note, the maximum LTV eligible for a loan depends on the loan amount and cannot be more than the limits given. To know more, click here.
