Resale Value & Worked Example
The resale formula is: Net Gold Weight (g) × Purity (%) × Today’s 24K IBJA Rate. For a pair of 7g 22K drop earrings: 7 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹97,783.
For a bridal chandelier pair with total weight 16g but 4g of stones: net gold = 12g; payout = 12 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹1,67,628.
Tax Treatment When You Sell
Gold held over 24 months attracts 12.5% LTCG when sold; held under 24 months, your gain is added to slab income. Aadhaar is mandatory; PAN is required if your sale exceeds ₹2,00,000.
What to Watch For – Seller Protection
● Stones or lac weighed with gold – insist on removal before weighing
● Visual purity check instead of XRF – always request machine testing
● No written receipt – a signed receipt is a legal requirement
● Making charge deductions at resale – these do not apply
● Lump-sum quote without per-gram rate – always ask for the gram rate first
