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
