Buyers should check the total bill including making charges and GST.

The silver rate was unchanged from the previous day.

Other listings showed slightly different figures, with one putting 24-carat gold at Rs 1,55,999 per 10 grams, because bullion rates vary by source and time of day.

Advertised per-gram rates do not reflect the final cost of jewellery, which also includes making charges, GST and other costs.

Buyers are advised to compare the total jewellery bill rather than only the advertised gold rate.

Purity should be checked, and hallmarked jewellery is the standard way to verify the carat of gold.

Gold prices in India are influenced by global bullion prices, the rupee exchange rate, import duties and local demand.

Festival and wedding seasons typically raise demand for gold in India, which can support prices.
