Selling gold is an important financial decision. A little preparation helps you understand the process and review the valuation without pressure.
Check the Current Gold Rate
Gold prices can change with international markets, currency movements and local buying policies. Use a published rate as a reference, but remember that the final jewellery value also depends on tested purity and eligible net gold weight.
Understand Purity and Net Weight
A karat stamp is useful, but professional testing may still be needed. Ask to see the gross weight, any stones or non-gold parts excluded, and the net weight used for the calculation.
Ask for a Clear Calculation
The valuation should explain the tested purity, eligible weight, applied buying rate and any deductions. Do not make a decision until every number is clear.
Prepare Documents
Carry a valid government-issued photo ID and any available bill, certificate or pledge document. Confirm the current requirements with the branch before travelling.
