22K vs 24K vs 18K gold in Korba

22K · ₹14,113/gram (BIS 916 hallmark) — The most common choice for gold jewellery in India. 91.6% pure gold, harder than 24K so it holds its shape in bangles, chains and necklaces. Look for the BIS 916 stamp when buying.

24K · ₹15,406/gram (BIS 999 hallmark) — 99.9% pure gold. Too soft for jewellery — mainly bought as coins, bars, or digital gold for investment purposes.

18K · ₹11,558/gram (BIS 750 hallmark) — 75% pure gold. Popular for diamond jewellery settings and modern designer pieces. Harder than 22K so it holds gemstones better. More common in urban jewellery stores.

How is the gold rate in Korba set?

Gold prices in India are set each morning by IBJA — India's largest bullion association — after consulting the country's biggest bullion dealers. The IBJA rate is also used by the RBI for Sovereign Gold Bond pricing. MCX (India's commodity exchange) trades gold futures through the day, and when MCX prices move, the next morning's IBJA rate reflects that. When the rupee weakens against the dollar or when global demand for gold rises, you'll typically see the price go up.

Why is Korba's gold rate different from other cities?

Korba has a local adjustment of ₹13/gram above the national benchmark. This reflects Chhattisgarh state taxes, transport costs to bring gold into the region, and the local jeweller association's pricing. Cities closer to major port cities like Mumbai or Chennai tend to have lower rates due to lower transport costs.

What you actually pay at the jeweller

The rate shown here is the raw bullion price — what the gold itself costs. At the jeweller's counter, you'll pay:

Bullion price — today's 22K rate × grams you buy
Making charges — ₹200–800/gram depending on design complexity (plain chains are cheaper; intricate Temple jewellery is higher)
GST 3% on the gold value
GST 5% on making charges

Always ask for a proper bill and check for the BIS hallmark stamp on the ornament before leaving the shop.
