Keep these 2 things in mind while buying gold

1. Buy only certified gold
Always buy certified gold bearing the hallmark of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Under the new rule, from April 1, gold will not be sold without six-digit alphanumeric hallmarking. Just like there is a 12-digit code on the Aadhaar card, similarly there will be a 6-digit hallmark code on gold. This is called Hallmark Unique Identification Number i.e. HUID.

This number can be alphanumeric i.e. something like this- AZ4524. Through hallmarking it has become possible to find out how many carats a particular gold has.

2. Cross check the price
Cross-check the exact weight of gold and its price on the day of purchase from multiple sources (such as the website of the India Bullion and Jewelers Association). The price of gold varies according to 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat.

24 carat gold is considered the purest gold, but jewellery is not made from it because it is very soft. Usually 22 carat or less carat gold is used for jewellery.

Check the price according to carat like this
Suppose the price of 24 carat gold is 60 thousand rupees per 10 grams. That means the price of one gram of gold is 6000 rupees. In such a situation, the price of 1 gram of 1 carat purity gold is 6000/24 ​​i.e. 250 rupees.

Now suppose your jewellery is made of 18 carat pure gold, then 18×250 means its price is Rs 4,500 per gram. Now the correct price of gold can be calculated by multiplying the number of grams of your jewellery by Rs 4,500.
