Remember these four points while purchasing gold.

1. Purchase only certified gold: Consistently purchase gold bearing the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmark. As of April 1, gold sales will be prohibited under the new regulation if the hallmarking is not six-digit alphanumeric. Similar to how the Aadhaar card has a 12-digit code, gold will also get a 6-digit hallmark code. This is known as the HUID, or Hallmark Unique Identification Number.

This number may be written in alphanumeric characters, such as AZ4524. The amount of gold in a piece can now be determined via hallmarking.

2. Verify the cost again
Verify the exact weight and cost of the gold on the day of purchase by cross-referencing information from several sources (such as the India Bullion and Jewelers Association website). Gold is priced differently depending on its 24 carat, 22 carat, and 18 carat weights.

Although 24-carat gold is thought to be the purest type of gold, jewelry is not manufactured of it due to its extreme softness. Jewelry is typically made of gold that is 22 carats or less.

Examine the cost based on carat by doing the following: Assume that 10 grams of 24 carat gold cost Rs 60,000. This indicates that a gram of gold costs Rs 6,000. The cost of one gram of pure gold in this scenario was 6000/24, or 250 rupees.

Assuming your jewelry is composed of 18-carat pure gold, its cost is equal to 18x250, or 4,500 rupees per gram. You can now determine the precise value of gold by multiplying the weight of your jewelry by Rs 4,500.
3. Accept the bill instead of paying with cash.
Using cash to purchase gold can turn out to be a costly error. Making payments via digital banking and UPI (such as the BHIM app) is preferable. You have the option to pay with a credit or debit card as well. Don't forget to pay the bill after this. When placing an online order, make sure to inspect the box.

4. Be aware of the resale guidelines: A lot of individuals view gold as an investment. It is crucial that you are fully informed of the gold's resale worth in such a circumstance. Additionally, bring up the worried jeweler's buyback policy with the store staff.

Decline in gold and silver prices today: 10 grams of gold was priced at Rs 66,420, while silver was priced at less than Rs 74 thousand.
