Dubai gold is generally cheaper because of lower taxes. India charges approximately 15% import duty on gold, while Dubai levies only 5% VAT on jewellery (and zero VAT on investment gold bars and coins). This creates the price difference you see in the table above.
Indian customs allows male passengers up to 20 grams (max ₹50,000) duty-free and female passengers up to 40 grams (max ₹1,00,000). Gold above these limits attracts 15% customs duty. Always declare all gold at customs — not declaring carries higher penalties than the duty itself.
No. Prices shown are raw bullion rates. Jewellery in Dubai carries making charges (typically AED 3–15/gram) and 5% UAE VAT. Gold bars and coins are VAT-exempt in Dubai.
