The PM had said that there was a time when people used to donate gold in the interest of the country when there was a crisis. There is no need for donations today, but in the interest of the country, we have to decide that we will not buy gold jewelery if there is any program at home for the whole year. Our patriotism is challenging us to save foreign exchange and we have to accept this and save foreign exchange. While buying gold from jewellers, keep these 2 things in mind: 1. Buy only certified gold: Always buy certified gold with hallmark of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This number can be alphanumeric i.e. something like this – AZ4524. Hallmarking shows how many carats the gold is. 2. Cross check the price: Cross check the exact weight of the gold and its price on the day of purchase from multiple sources (like the website of India Bullion and Jewelers Association). The price of gold varies according to 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat.
