There are a lot of gold investment options to explore. Know the gold prices in Barasat today and consider investing through these options:

• Physical Gold

Physical gold is a traditional investment option, valued for its real, tangible form and cultural importance. You can keep it at home or in a bank locker, but it needs safe storage and comes with extra costs, like making charges. 

• Digital Gold

You can buy digital gold online, eliminating the need for storage while still benefiting from appreciation. Depending on your requirements, you can easily sell your digital gold and exchange it for physical gold of equivalent value.

• Gold Exchange-traded Funds (Gold ETFs)

Gold Exchange-traded Funds offer a modern and convenient way to invest in gold. They track the price of gold and can be effortlessly purchased or sold. However, they may involve brokerage fees and lack the tangible experience of owning physical gold.

• Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs)

SGBs are government-backed securities that come with a fixed interest rate of 2.5% p.a. The interest is distributed on a semi-annual basis. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is issuing the bond on behalf of the Indian government.

While buying gold in Barasat, keep these factors in mind so that you can make a secure gold purchase:

• Current Gold Rate

Stay updated with the latest gold prices in Barasat, as they fluctuate on a daily basis. Check the rates using reliable news sources and recognised commodity exchanges.

• Jeweller’s Authenticity and Reputation

Before purchasing gold, always choose reliable and well-established jewellers with a positive reputation. Exploring various jewellers will also help you get an idea about the designs they offer.

• Hallmark Certification

Always buy gold jewellery with hallmark certification, as it guarantees the purity of the gold. Check the 6-digit Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) number on the jewellery to verify its purity using the BIS Care App.

• Making Charges

Ensure you know about any extra charges on your gold purchase, such as making charges. Many jewellers apply making charges for jewellery to compensate for the labour put into creating the piece. 

• Return/Exchange Policy

Understanding their policies is crucial if you wish to return or exchange the gold for reasons such as defects or others. Review the terms and conditions thoroughly and ensure that you keep all purchase receipts and related documents stored safely for future reference.

It is essential to recognise the factors that affect current gold prices in Barasat. This will help you understand the right time to buy gold:

• Local Demand Influences

Cultural events drive the demand for gold jewellery in Ratlam. Increasing local demand, especially during festive seasons, can push prices higher.

• Changes in U.S. Dollar's Value

Gold is traded in U.S. dollars, so fluctuations in the dollar's value directly impact gold prices. A weaker dollar makes gold more affordable in India, boosting demand and driving prices up.

• Inflation

Economic factors, particularly inflation, affect the value of gold. As people seek gold as a safe haven, its demand rises, leading to higher prices.

• Tax and Import Policy Changes

Changes in gold import duties or local tax policies can directly affect gold prices. It is essential to stay updated on government announcements regarding taxes on gold.

 

To measure the purity of gold, consider these effective techniques that provide a basic idea about gold purity:

• Visual Inspection

Check the gold for tarnishing or unusual colouration. Pure gold retains its bright, lustrous yellow colour. In comparison, impure gold may look dull or discoloured.

• Electronic Testing

Use a specialised gold tester to assess the gold's conductivity. Pure gold has high conductivity, while lower conductivity may suggest the presence of other metals.

• Magnet Test

Using a magnet to see if the gold item reacts can help reveal the presence of other metals. If the piece is drawn to the magnet, it suggests the existence of impurities.

• Acid Test

The acid test entails placing a small drop of nitric acid on the gold item. Authentic gold will not change, while other metals might react, pointing to a lower purity level.

• Professional Assay

For the most precise results, think about taking the gold to a professional jeweller or a certified assay centre for a comprehensive purity evaluation.

As per the current taxation rules in India, you need to pay Goods and Services Tax (GST) on gold purchases. Staying informed about any changes in the GST rate is essential since it will determine what you pay for the same quantity of gold. 

 

Currently, a 3% GST is levied on all gold transactions, while a 5% GST is applied to making charges for jewellery.

 

For example, suppose you are buying a gold bracelet worth ₹50,000 with 15% making charges. The GST will be ₹1,500 on the gold and ₹375 on the making charges. Thus, the total GST payable on a ₹50,000 gold bracelet would be ₹1,875.

Pledging your gold as collateral allows you to secure a gold loan to meet various financial needs. The loan amount you can receive depends on the current price of gold.

 

When gold prices are high, the collateral is worth more, meaning you can borrow more money against your gold. On the other hand, if gold prices fall then collateral's value falls as well. This means you will get a lower loan amount for the same quantity of gold.  

 

Tracking these rates can help you maximise your borrowing potential based on current gold valuations. At Bajaj Markets, comparing gold loans from different lenders and applying is simple and hassle-free.
