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
