How to check gold purity in Jhansi
Before buying or pledging gold in Jhansi, check its purity to understand its value. You can use the following methods to assess gold purity:
- BIS hallmark: Look for the BIS hallmark on jewellery. It helps verify the declared purity and includes details that identify the hallmarking and registration.
- Acid test: A trained professional uses a chemical solution to assess gold purity by observing how the sample reacts.
- X-ray fluorescence (XRF) test: This method checks the metals present in gold without damaging the item.
- Electronic gold tester: The device assesses gold purity using electronic measurements and provides a quick indication of its composition.
- Assay testing: A laboratory or authorised assaying facility can test a sample to determine its gold content.
- Density testing: This method compares the gold item's density with known values to help estimate its purity, though other metals in the item can affect the result.
For a reliable assessment, visit a BIS-recognised Assaying and Hallmarking Centre or a trusted jeweller in Jhansi.

How can you calculate the value of your gold?
You can estimate the current value of your gold using three simple details:
- Gold weight
- Gold purity
- Applicable gold rate per gram
Formula: Gold Value = Gold Weight × Gold Rate per Gram
For example, suppose a customer in Jhansi owns:
- 50 grams of 22K gold
- Current 22K gold rate: Rs. 13,810 per gram
Estimated gold value:
50 × Rs. 13,810 = Rs. 6,90,500
This calculation provides an estimate of the current value of your gold based on market rates. Bajaj Finance does not take the market value of your gold to evaluate gold loan.
How do gold rates influence gold investments?
The daily gold rate affects the value of physical gold, Gold ETFs, and Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs). Though these products work differently, their performance is closely tied to gold price movements.
