Gold rate in Chennai, what to know before you buy or sell
To find the metal price of one sovereign, multiply the per-gram rate by 8; making charges and GST are added on top. Tamil Nadu weddings, Pongal, Akshaya Tritiya and Diwali are the main buying seasons, and 22K temple jewellery is a favourite for brides. Many Chennai jewellers also run monthly gold savings schemes. If you consider one, read the terms in writing: which rate is used when you redeem, whether making charges are waived, and what happens if you stop paying.
