Things to Know before investing in Gold in Hyderabad

No matter how much Indians grow, their obsession is never likely to end. So, in this section, we will tell you about some of the things you should keep in mind when investing in the metal:

• How pure is the gold - There are different purity levels to gold 14 karat, 18 karat, 22 karat, and 24 karat. A 24 karat gold is the purest form of gold available and is likely to cost considerably more when compared to the others.
• Do you know the labour charges involved - One of the many ways jewellers earn their money is charging labour charge on a piece of jewellery. The maker charges a certain amount depending on the type and the complexity of the piece in question. Making charges will be added to the final price of your purchase. To know more about it, analyse your bill carefully or talk to your jeweller the next time you're making a purchase
• Certification In Place? - Gold is certified and authenticated by the Bureau of Indian Standards, which main aim is to make sure that you - the customer - aren't fleeced by the jeweller for a substandard or fake product. The BIS certifies the gold a jeweller is selling based on their purity levels. When you're making a purchase, make sure to check the purity levels before buying.
• When you are purchasing - The timing of your purchase can have a bearing on how much your jewellery could cost. For instance, during festive seasons when demand is high, you are likely to spend more as opposed to buying during the off season. Also be on the lookout for additional offers which reputed jewellers put up from time to time.
• Keep the weight in mind - When a jewellery is weighed before a sale, any other stones used (emerald, diamond etc) will also be included in the pricing. This may increase the price of your jewels further. So, keep this in mind when purchasing studded jewellery.

Taxes on Gold in Hyderabad

Like every commodity, there's a tax that has to be paid on gold as well, of which there are three. Below are all of them mentioned for you.

• Capital Gains Tax - Gold trades, in the form of ETFs, incur taxes depending on when and how they are sold. For instance, if gold is sold within 12 months of buying it, the profit will be taxed at 10%. On the other hand, if gold is sold after 36 months, capital gained through the sale will be taxed at 15% and also check GST on gold.
• Wealth Tax - Gold is considered wealth, and hence it will be taxed. If wealth exceeds more than Rs.30 lakh, a wealth tax of 1% needs to be paid. The valuation for the gold will be done based on the rates on 31st March.
