Hence, India Inc. has to import gold thus investors have to pay import tax, cess, GST, etc. As the gold prices rise in the international market, the gold will be more costly in the domestic market too. Daily Indian gold prices are fixed by the Indian Bullion Jewellers Association (IBJA) which consists biggest gold dealers. However, the union government is now promoting hallmarked gold jewelleries for the benefit to ensure the purity of gold. So, the buyers too should be careful at the time of investing in physical gold. It will help them in long term and assure the correct price at the time of resale. Gold is an assured investment for long-term return and it is a hedge against inflation. So, investors are focusing more on the precious metal, since last year, when the pandemic started off.
