Gold rate in Mumbai, what to know before you buy or sell
Jewellers across Mumbai, from Zaveri Bazaar in Kalbadevi to showrooms in the suburbs, price gold from the same national benchmark. The gap you notice between two shops is therefore more often in the making charge than in the metal rate. Ask for a bill that lists weight, purity, rate and making charge separately, and check each piece for the BIS hallmark and its HUID code. Demand usually rises before Gudi Padwa, Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras, and through the wedding season.
