3 Important Tips for Buying Gold
-
Buy Only Certified Gold
Always purchase gold certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Certified gold carries a 6-digit hallmark code, known as the Hallmark Unique Identification Number (HUID), which verifies its authenticity and purity. This alphanumeric code, such as “AZ4524,” ensures you are buying genuine gold. -
Verify the Price
Check the gold price on the day of purchase using multiple sources, such as the IBJA website. Gold prices vary based on purity—24-carat gold is the purest but too soft for making jewelry, which is why 22-carat or lower purity is commonly used. -
Avoid Cash Transactions, Always Take a Bill
Opt for digital payment methods like UPI (e.g., BHIM app), online banking, or debit/credit cards instead of cash. Always request a bill to ensure transparency. If purchasing gold online, carefully inspect the packaging upon delivery.
