4 reasons why gold prices differ in different cities
- Transportation and Security: Fuel and security costs are involved in transporting gold from one city to another, which increases the price as the distance increases.
- Purchase quantity: Due to high consumption in South India (about 40%), jewelers make large purchases, but the benefit of discount remains limited.
- Local Jewelery Association: State and city jewelery associations decide the rates based on local demand and supply.
- Old Stock and Purchase Price: The buying rate of jewelers decides at what price they will sell to customers.
Keep these 3 things in mind while buying gold from jewelers
- Buy only certified gold: Always buy certified gold bearing the 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.
- Price Cross Check: Cross-check the correct weight of gold and its price on the day of purchase from multiple sources (such as the website of India Bullion and Jewelers Association). The price of gold varies according to 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat.
- Making Charge Game: Making charge is the fee that jewelers charge for making gold into jewellery. It is not fixed. You can bargain on this. Jewelers are often willing to reduce this, especially if you are making a large purchase. You should directly ask them for the breakup of labor cost, so that you can get a better deal.
