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
