Designs & Weight Comparison

Common Types & Use Cases

●      Plain thin bichiya pair – most common, 1g–3g, worn daily

●      Flat broad metti (South India) – 2g–5g per pair

●      Stone-set toe ring – stones removed; gold only paid

●      Single toe ring – Attica buys individual pieces

●      Heirloom bichiya – condition does not affect gold value

Resale Value & Worked Example

For a 2g plain 22K toe ring pair: 2 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹27,938.

For a 4g pair: 4 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹55,876. At current rates, toe ring sales will be well below the ₹2,00,000 PAN threshold.

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 first
