Keep these 3 things in mind while buying gold
- Buy only certified gold
Always buy certified gold bearing the hallmark of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). It is a 6-digit hallmark code on gold. This is called a Hallmark Unique Identification Number i.e. HUID. This number is alphanumeric i.e. something like this – AZ4524.
- Cross-check the price
Cross-check the correct weight of gold and its price on the day of purchase from multiple sources (such as the website of India Bullion and Jewelers Association). The gold price varies according to 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat. 24-carat gold is considered the purest gold, but jewellery is not made from it because it is very soft.
- Do not pay cash, take the bill
While buying gold, it is better to make payments through UPI (like the BHIM app) and digital banking instead of cash payments. You can also make the payment through a debit or credit card. After this don’t forget to take the bill. If you have ordered online then definitely check the packaging.
