Resale Formula & Worked Example

12g 22K ladies chain: 12 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹1,67,628.

For a 20g chain: 20 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹2,79,380. A 20g chain at today’s rates approaches ₹2,00,000 – check if PAN is required.

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 – do not apply

●      Lump-sum quote without per-gram rate – always ask for breakdown
