What are Making Charges?
Making charges are fees charged by jewelers for crafting jewelry. These typically range from ₹300 to ₹800 per gram depending on the design complexity. Intricate designs usually have higher making charges.
GST on Gold
Gold purchases in India attract a 3% Goods and Services Tax (GST). This is calculated on the total value including making charges. Our calculator automatically adds this when you enable the GST option.
