Purchasing gold in India involves more than just the market rate of the precious metal. When you buy jewelry, you encounter various additional costs, primarily making charges and Goods and Services Tax (GST). Understanding how these components interact is crucial for every smart buyer.

The Components of Gold Pricing

The final price you pay at the jewelry store is calculated using the following formula:

Final Price = (Price of Gold × Weight) + Making Charges + GST (on Gold + Making Charges)

1. Gold Rate

This is the prevailing market price of gold based on its purity (24K, 22K, or 18K). Note that most jewelry is made in 22K or 18K gold because 24K gold is too soft for intricate designs.

2. Making Charges

Jewelers charge a fee for the labor and craftsmanship involved in creating the jewelry piece. These charges can be a fixed amount per gram or a percentage of the total gold value. High-end, intricate designs typically command higher making charges.

3. GST (Goods and Services Tax)

As per current Indian tax laws, a 3% GST is applicable on the combined value of the gold and the making charges. It is important to note that the GST is calculated on the subtotal (Gold Value + Making Charges), not just the gold price.

Example Calculation

Let's say you are buying 10 grams of 22K gold:

• Gold Rate: ₹6,000 per gram (₹60,000 for 10g)
• Making Charges: 10% of gold value (₹6,000)
• Subtotal: ₹66,000
• GST (3% of ₹66,000): ₹1,980
• Total Price: ₹67,980

Tips for Gold Buyers

• Check Daily Rates: Gold prices fluctuate daily. Always check the live rate before visiting the store.
• Negotiate Making Charges: While GST is fixed by the government, making charges are often negotiable.
• Verify Purity: Look for the BIS Hallmark to ensure you are getting the purity you are paying for.
• Digital Gold: If you are buying digital gold, the 3% GST still applies at the time of purchase.
