Mostly genuine bro, u will realise when you reach gold sukh, i got from Meena jewellers when I went. Tanishq are also there

May I know what did you buy there? And how much was the making charge?

Can anyone tell what's the making charge percentage in India?

 

[Riva]

Varies for different jewellers in India. Starts around 8%-10% and goes as high as 30%. Also depends on the patterns, simple patters have a lesser making charge, more complicated designs will have a higher charge.

24k gold bar, no tax no making charge

 

[nikhil_118]

How did you bring it back? Did custom people notice the gold bar?

I saw in few videos that there were few shops in gold souq claiming 0% making charges. But don't know whether those are genuine or not. If not I will have to use my bargaining skills to reduce the making charges 😈

I have purchased 22K gold from Anvar Gold at Gold Center In Gold Souq. They have Zero Making charge. And it's genuine I got it tested back in India at Tanishq.
But reach there early around shop opening time else lot of rush.
