Gold Rate in India Today (IBJA)

The official gold rate in India is published by the Indian Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), which derives its rate from the international spot price (London AM/PM fix) converted to INR by the RBI reference rate. The IBJA rate is published once daily (typically by 12:30pm IST) and is the reference price used by most jewellers, banks, and commodity markets across India.

22K gold (916 purity) is India's most popular jewellery standard. Nearly all traditional Indian gold jewellery — from wedding sets to temple ornaments — is made in 22K. 24K gold (999.9 pure) is used for investment (gold coins, bars, sovereign gold bonds). 18K is growing in popularity for diamond-set jewellery. BIS Hallmarking (Bureau of Indian Standards) guarantees purity and must be present on all jewellery sold in India since September 2021.

When buying gold in India, the total cost per gram equals: IBJA rate + 3% GST (on metal) + making charges (INR 150–500/gram) + 5% GST on making charges. Gold ETFs and Sovereign Gold Bonds are popular alternatives that avoid making charges while tracking gold prices. Sovereign Gold Bonds also pay 2.5% annual interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Indian Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) rate is the official benchmark gold price in India. Published daily by 12:30pm IST, it is derived from the international spot price converted to INR. Jewellers, banks, and digital gold platforms all reference this rate when pricing their products.

916 gold means 91.6% pure gold — the Indian standard for '22K' jewellery. The '916' hallmark on jewellery (part of BIS hallmarking) guarantees this purity level. It is India's most popular jewellery grade because it is durable enough for everyday wear while maintaining high gold content.

3% GST is charged on the gold metal value. Additionally, 5% GST is charged on making charges (labour). When buying a gold chain worth INR 50,000 with INR 5,000 making charges, total GST = INR 1,500 (3% on metal) + INR 250 (5% on making) = INR 1,750.

For jewellery buyers: buy certified BIS-hallmarked jewellery from reputable jewellers. For investors: Sovereign Gold Bonds (issued by RBI) offer gold price appreciation plus 2.5% annual interest and are tax-efficient. Gold ETFs are liquid and have low costs. Physical bars/coins are good for those wanting physical possession.
