Keep these 3 things in mind while buying gold
1. Buy only certified gold
Always buy certified gold bearing the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmark. Gold has a 6 digit hallmark code. It is called Hallmark Unique Identification Number or HUID. This number is alphanumeric ie something like – AZ4524. How many karats the gold is can be known by hallmarking.
2. Check the cross price Cross-check the correct weight of the gold and its price on the day of purchase from multiple sources (such as the India Bullion and Jewelers Association website). The price of gold varies according to 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat. 24 karat gold is considered to be the purest gold, but it is not used in jewelry because it is too soft.
3. Don't pay cash, take bills While buying gold, it is better to pay through UPI (like BHIM app) and digital banking instead of cash payment. You can also pay by debit or credit card if you wish. Don't forget to take the bill after this. Be sure to check the packaging if ordering online.
