Buy Only Certified Gold Always buy certified gold with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmark. Under the new rules, from April 1, gold without six-digit alphanumeric hallmarking will not be sold. Just like the Aadhaar card has a 12-digit code, similarly, gold will have a 6-digit hallmark code. This is called the Hallmark Unique Identification Number or HUID. This number can be alphanumeric, something like this – AZ4524. Through hallmarking, it has become possible to determine how many carats a piece of gold is. 2. Cross Check the Price Cross-check the correct weight of the gold and its price on the day of purchase from various sources (such as the India Bullion and Jewelers Association website). The price of gold varies according to 24 carats, 22 carats, and 18 carats. 24-carat gold is considered the purest gold, but jewelry is not made from it because it is very soft. Generally, 22-carat or lower carat gold is used for jewelry. Check the Price According to Carat Suppose the price of 24 carat gold is ₹60,000 per 10 grams. This means the price of one gram of gold is ₹6,000. In this case, the price of one gram of gold with 1 carat purity is 6,000/24, which is ₹250. Now suppose your jewelry is made of 18 carat pure gold, then 18×250 means its price is ₹4,500 per gram. Now, by multiplying ₹4,500 by the number of grams of your jewelry, the correct price of the gold can be calculated.
