Gold Borla: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value

The gold borla is a traditional Rajasthani head ornament – a round, bulbous gold pendant worn at the centre of the forehead. Unlike the maang tikka which has a flat or teardrop shape, the borla is distinctly spherical (named after the borla / mukta bead from which it gets its name). It is a key piece of Rajasthani and Marwari bridal jewellery.

At resale, only gold weight and purity determine cash value.

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

●      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
