Understanding 22K vs 24K Gold in India
| Feature | 24K Gold | 22K Gold |
|---|---|---|
| Purity | 99.9% | 91.6% |
| Common use | Coins, bars, Gold ETFs | Jewellery |
| Today's rate | ₹16,238/g | ₹14,885/g |
| Durability | Soft, bends easily | Harder, jewellery-grade |
| Best for | Investment | Weddings, gifting |
24K gold is the purest form but too soft for intricate jewellery. Indian jewellers predominantly sell 22K (marked as 916) because the 8.4% alloy content makes it sturdy enough for rings, bangles, and necklaces. If you are buying gold purely for investment, consider 24K bars, digital gold, or SGBs instead.

Data sourced from MCX India and international benchmarks
Today's 24K gold rate in India is ₹16,238 per gram, reflecting a change of −₹27 (−0.17%) from yesterday's close. On a weekly basis, gold is down 0.43%, and on a monthly basis, it has fallen 0.73% from the April peak of ₹16,357.
Key factors influencing today's gold price:
- Moderate pressure from a stronger US Dollar index (DXY ~103.4)

- Seasonal softening typical of post-wedding season in India (April–May)
Outlook:
Short-term support is expected around ₹16,000/g (24K). A sustained move below this level could signal further weakness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Information sourced from MCX India, Reserve Bank of India, and IBJA.
What is the difference between 22K and 24K gold?
24K gold is 99.9% pure and is used for coins, bars, and investment products. 22K gold is 91.6% pure, alloyed with copper or silver, and is the standard for jewellery in India because it is harder and more durable.
Is today a good time to buy gold in India?
Gold prices have dipped slightly over the past 30 days (from ₹16,357 to ₹16,238 per gram for 24K), which may represent a short-term buying opportunity. Long-term investors typically use a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) approach to average their purchase price.
What is the making charge on gold jewellery?
Making charges range from 8% to 35% of the gold value, depending on the jeweller and design complexity. Always ask for an itemised bill showing gold value, making charges, and 3% GST separately.
How does the US Dollar affect gold prices in India?
Gold is priced internationally in USD. When the USD strengthens against the INR, gold becomes more expensive in rupees even if the international price stays flat. A weaker rupee typically pushes domestic gold prices up.
What is MCX gold rate?
MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange) is India's primary commodity exchange where gold futures are traded. The MCX gold rate is the benchmark for most Indian jewellers and is used to set daily rates.
Is Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) better than buying physical gold?
SGBs issued by RBI earn 2.5% annual interest, have no storage risk, and are exempt from capital gains tax at maturity. For investment purposes, SGBs are generally preferred over physical gold. For jewellery or cultural occasions, physical gold remains the standard choice.
How much gold can I carry from abroad to India?
As per CBEC rules, male passengers can carry up to 20 grams (max ₹50,000 value) duty-free, and female passengers up to 40 grams (max ₹1,00,000 value). Gold above these limits attracts customs duty.
What are hallmarking rules for gold in India?
BIS hallmarking is mandatory for gold jewellery sold in India since June 2021. Always look for the BIS logo, purity stamp (916 for 22K, 999 for 24K), and HUID (Hallmark Unique ID) on jewellery.
