Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Gold purchase on Akshaya Tritiya, thus identify fake and real gold – Cross Talk India
Akshaya tritiya 2025: Akshaya Tritiya, one of the most auspicious festivals in India to buy gold and other valuables, is falling on April 30 this year. It is believed that this day brings prosperity and good fortune. Therefore, this day is considered the best for investing in gold. If you are also planning to buy gold jewelery, coins or bars on Akshaya Tritiya, then know to identify the real and fake first. By doing this you can avoid being a victim of fraud. Let’s know how to identify fake and real in gold shopping.
Check huid number
Gold jewelry has a hallmark unique Identification number (HUID) number. It is a six -digit alphanumeric code that confirms the authenticity of gold. On the purchase of gold from any jewelers, you can check this number through the BIS Care App and see the name of the purity, registration and hallmarking center of the commodity. If any jewelers are selling jewelry without hallmark, do not buy it at all.
Identify the real hallmark like this
In hallmarking, a product is certified on fixed parameters. BIS is an institution in India, which examines the quality level being provided to consumers. If gold and silver are hallmark, it means that its purity is certified. But many jewelers are putting hallmarks without completing the investigation process. In such a situation, it is important to see whether the hallmark is original or not? The real hallmark has a triangular mark of the Bureau of Indian Standards. It is also written on the purity of gold along with the people of the hallmarking center. It also has the year of jewelery construction and the logo logo.
Understand carat
Gold is measured in carat (K), and usually these are the following:
- 24K – 99.9% pure
- 22k – 91.6% pure
- 18k or 14k – low purity
Prices are fixed according to purity
Now you can find out how much pure gold was used in your jewelery by looking at the halmark mark and number. Determine the price of gold accordingly. For example, the rate of 24 carat gold is 95000 rupees. Now if you go to buy gold jewelery in the market, then by removing the making charge, the real price of your jewelery (95000/24) X22 = 87083 will be Rs. While the goldsmith gives you 22 carat gold at 95000 only. That is, you are buying 22 carat gold at 24 carat gold prices.
Don’t forget to take purity certificate
While buying gold, do not forget to take Authority/Porting Certificate. Also check the carat quality of gold in the certificate. Also, take a separate certificate for Gem Stone in Gold Jewelery.
Take a paved slip
There is a trend to take raw slips while buying coin or jewelery. But this is wrong. At the time of return, the jewelers themselves do not recognize their raw slip, so definitely take a firm bill. Gold carat, purity, making charge, hallmark must be mentioned in the bill.
