It's essential to understand the purity and colours of gold before making any investment decisions. Gold purity is measured in karats, and the choice depends on the intended use. For example, 24K (99.9%) is the purest form but too soft for jewellery, while 22K (91.6%) is standard for traditional Indian jewellery.
The daily gold rate you see online is just a benchmark, and the final showroom price will always be higher due to additional charges such as making charges and GST. It's crucial to verify authenticity by looking for the BIS logo, purity grade, and HUID code on the BIS Care app.
