Today’s Live Rate Right Now

The rate you’ll receive depends on today’s IBJA reference, which updates at 12:30 PM and 4:30 PM IST. If you arrive at a branch in the morning, you’ll receive the previous day’s 4:30 PM rate; after 12:30 PM, you’ll receive today’s morning rate; after 4:30 PM, today’s afternoon rate. Reputable buyers apply the latest IBJA reset visibly. Use the widget below to verify the current rate before walking in.

🔧 LIVE RATE WIDGET PLACEHOLDER Embed live IBJA rate widget showing 24K, 22K, 18K, 14K per-gram rate with last-updated timestamp. Include ‘next IBJA reset in X hours/minutes’ countdown to help users decide whether to wait for the next reset (if the rate is rising) or sell immediately.

What to Bring When Selling Today

●Your gold (any form, any weight, any condition – broken, intact, unmarked, hallmarked, all accepted).

●        Original Aadhaar card or e-Aadhaar – mandatory for KYC compliance.

●Original PAN card – mandatory if you expect your sale to exceed ₹2,00,000.

● Optional but helpful: original purchase invoices for tax computation if your sale crosses the LTCG threshold.

● Cash card / debit card / bank account details for the receiving account if your sale exceeds ₹2,00,000 (for the balance via RTGS/NEFT).

What Happens at the Branch – Same-Day Process Detail

Walk into any Attica Gold branch during business hours (typically 10 AM to 8 PM, Monday to Saturday). No appointment needed. Step by step:

●Reception: Your Aadhaar/PAN is verified, and a sale record is created in the system. Takes 5 minutes.

●Initial weighing: All pieces are weighed on a calibrated electronic scale visible to you, with the calibration certificate displayed on the counter. Total gross weight noted.

●Stone separation (if applicable): For stone-set pieces, stones are physically detached when possible, or weight is estimated using BIS reference tables. Cleaned gold is reweighed.

●XRF testing: Each piece is tested via X-ray fluorescence – a non-destructive 30-second scan that measures pure-gold percentage. Results are displayed on screen and noted on your receipt.

●Rate application: Today’s IBJA rate is applied based on tested purity. Buyer shows you ibjarates.com on their screen for cross-verification.

●Final calculation: Weight × Tested Purity × IBJA Rate − 1–2% Refining Margin = Net Cash. Each line itemised on the printed receipt.

● Payment: Cash up to ₹2,00,000 (Section 269ST limit), instantly. Balance via RTGS or NEFT to your bank account, also same-day. No deferred payment, no follow-up needed.

When Same-Day is Not Possible (Rare Edge Cases)

Same-day cash sale is the norm. Three rare situations could delay payment by a few hours:

● Very large sales (above ₹10 lakh) – bank RTGS settlement may take 1–2 hours during banking hours; outside banking hours, NEFT settles the next morning. Cash component (₹2L) is still immediate.

●KYC discrepancies – if your Aadhaar/PAN details don’t match (name spelling, address change), KYC re-verification may add 30–60 minutes.

●Pieces requiring extensive stone separation – heavy kundan or polki sets with intricate stone embedment may take longer to process; expect 60–90 minutes total instead of 30 minutes.

In all three cases, the sale completes on the same day – no overnight wait, no return visit needed.

What to Verify When in a Hurry

● IBJA rate match – even when in a hurry, take 30 seconds to open ibjarates.com on your phone and verify the rate.

● XRF test in your view – never let the buyer take your gold to a back room for testing.

● efining margin clearly stated – should be 1–2% on the receipt, not a vague ‘discount’ or unstated deduction.

● Itemised receipt before payment – verify weight, purity, rate, deductions and final amount before accepting payment.

●Don’t fall for pressure – even when you need cash today, a reputable buyer never pressures you to ‘decide now or lose the rate’. The rate is fixed by IBJA, not by buyer urgency.
