NRI wedding gold shopping guide

Updated: 13 Oct 2026. Live rate every 30 seconds.

Plan the budget in rupees

Gold price moves daily. Track the live rate on AajKaGoldRate and fix a budget in grams, not rupees.

Timing

Prices are often higher in demand peaks (Dhanteras, Akshaya Tritiya, wedding season). Many jewellers let you book the rate with an advance.

Making charges

Ask for making charges as a percentage and get stone weight listed separately.

Hallmark and bill

Insist on BIS hallmark with HUID and an itemised bill: gross weight, net gold weight, purity, rate, making and GST.

Carrying it back

Check the customs rules of the country you live in for declaring jewellery.

Frequently asked questions

Is this price live?

Yes. Prices are calculated in your browser from the live international gold price and live exchange rates, and refresh every 30 seconds.

Why can a shop price be different?

Shops add their own premium and making charges, and some update prices only once or twice a day. Treat these as indicative prices and confirm with your jeweller.

Does the Indian price include import duty?

Yes. The India price includes the 15% import duty (10% basic customs duty + 5% AIDC since May 2026). 3% GST is shown separately.
