Why Do Gold Prices Differ Between Cities?
Gold prices may vary from one city to another because of local market conditions, transportation costs, taxes and other pricing factors. Rates can also change during the day depending on movements in the domestic and international bullion markets.
The final price paid for jewellery may be higher than the listed gold rate because making charges and applicable taxes can be added to the bill.
Things to Check Before Buying Gold
Before purchasing gold, customers should confirm the day's rate with a trusted jeweller. They should also check the purity marking, ask for a detailed bill and understand any additional making charges.
Buyers should remember that 24-carat gold has a higher purity than 22-carat and 18-carat gold. Jewellery is often made using alloys to improve its strength and durability, so the appropriate purity depends on the intended use.
