Resale Value & Worked Example

The gold content is weighed after pearls/non-gold elements are excluded. For 45g of satlada gold (22K): 45 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹6,28,605.

For 60g of gold: ₹8,38,140. All satlada sales exceed ₹2,00,000 – Aadhaar and PAN both required. Pearls are returned to you.

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
