The 500g married woman, 250g unmarried woman and 100g male figures come from CBDT Instruction No. 1916 dated 11 May 1994 and are seizure protection thresholds during an income tax search, not ownership caps. Covers documentation that establishes source, capital gains treatment on sale (24 months, 12.5 percent long term without indexation, slab rate short term), PAN required above Rs 2,00,000 under Rule 114B, and 3 percent GST on the total invoice. Author Rajesh Londe. August 2026. - [GST on Gold Jewellery in India](https://londejewellers.com/guides/gst-on-gold-jewellery-india-nagpur): GST on gold jewellery sold to a retail customer in India is a flat 3 percent of the total transaction value, making charges included, because a finished ornament is one composite supply under section 8 of the CGST Act with gold as the principal supply. The official FAQ on Gems and Jewellery under GST, Question 7, states GST is payable at 3 percent of the total transaction value whether the making charge is shown separately or not. The commonly quoted split rate is the 5 percent job work rate from Question 8, which applies only between a jeweller and a karigar, never on a customer bill. Also covers invoice format (1.5 percent CGST plus 1.5 percent SGST in Maharashtra, GSTIN starting 27, HUID), old gold exchange (CBIC press release 13 July 2017, no reverse charge on an individual's old gold, and GST on the full value of the new piece, not net of the trade in), 3 percent on gold coins and bars, GST 2.0 leaving gold unchanged at the 56th Council meeting of 3 September 2025, and BIS hallmarking as a fee not a tax. Author Rajesh Londe. August 2026. - [PAN Card and Cash Limit for Buying Gold in India](https://londejewellers.com/guides/pan-card-cash-limit-buying-gold-india-nagpur): Two separate thresholds that are constantly confused. PAN must be quoted when a single purchase of goods exceeds Rs 2,00,000, in any payment mode, under Rule 114B of the Income tax Rules, 1962, and jewellery is ordinary goods, not a named category. Cash of Rs 2,00,000 or more cannot be received at all under section 269ST of the Income tax Act, 1961, inserted by the Finance Act 2017 with effect from 1 April 2017, and the wording is two lakh rupees or more, so exactly Rs 2,00,000 in cash is already a contravention. The penalty under section 271DA falls on the person who receives the money, which is the jeweller, and equals the entire amount received. The widely repeated claim that PAN is needed above Rs 50,000 is wrong: Rule 114B carries six Rs 50,000 thresholds covering hotel bills, bank drafts, cash deposits, foreign travel, insurance premium and mutual fund units, none of them jewellery. The old jewellery and bullion entry at Rs 5 lakh was deleted and merged into the general goods entry with effect from 1 January 2016, per the Ministry of Finance press release of 15 December 2015. Also covers clause (c) aggregation of one event or occasion for wedding purchases, the omission of subsections (1D) and (1E) of section 206C from 1 April 2017, and why Londe Jewellers Gold & Diamonds pays for old gold by bank transfer or UPI and never in cash, with section 40A(3) as the statutory reason.

Read the report in this order: match the report number on the paper to the laser inscription on the girdle at 10x and to the lab verification lookup, then read the six fields that move the price, carat weight, colour, clarity, cut, the polish and symmetry pair, and fluorescence, then read the comments line. Covers the 23 grade D to Z colour scale and why G to J looks white once set in gold, the 11 grade FL to I3 clarity scale and why VS2 is the eye clean line, carat weight step ups at 0.30, 0.50, 0.70, 0.90 and 1.00 carat, why GIA assigns a full cut grade to round brilliants only while IGI publishes one on many fancy shapes, the 5 fluorescence levels and when Strong blue makes a high colour stone look milky, the plotting diagram and the key to symbols where red is internal and green is external, and the comments line phrase clarity grade is based on clouds that are not shown. Also covers what a grading report never says, which is price: at Londe Jewellers Gold & Diamonds the invoice carries the certified stone weight, the diamond rate, the gold weight, the gold rate, making charges in the published 8 percent to 28 percent band, and a flat 3 percent GST on the total, with 0 percent deduction gold exchange on 22K and 24K and payouts by bank transfer or UPI.

A gold loan pledges gold for cash at about 9.5 to 24 percent per annum interest and returns the same gold on repayment. A gold exchange converts old gold into new jewellery with no interest and at Londe zero deduction on 22K and 24K gold value. Side by side table on what you get, whether you keep your gold, interest cost, deduction, purity testing, repayment, best use case and risk.

Making charge is the labour cost of turning gold into jewellery, quoted as a percentage of gold value or rupees per gram. Wastage is a separate line that adds extra gold WEIGHT to what the customer is billed for. A bill carrying both charges twice for one manufacturing process, once as labour and once as metal. Genuine manufacturing loss in a well run workshop is 0.5 to 2 percent of gold worked and close to zero on machine made chain, but wastage quoted to customers in the Nagpur market commonly runs 5 to 12 percent, so the gap is margin rather than metal. Worked comparison on one 20 gram 22K plain bangle at the live Nagpur rate, same 12 percent making charge on both bills, the only difference an 8 percent wastage line: the wastage bill bills 21.60 g instead of 20.00 g and costs materially more, while a buyer comparing only making charge percentages would judge the two shops identically priced. Wastage costs twice, because exchange credits only the gold actually present in the piece, so wastage grams paid for can never be recovered at any jeweller. GST: Londe Jewellers bills a flat 3 percent GST on the total invoice value covering gold and making together, as a composite supply. The 5 percent job work rate applies only where a customer supplies their own gold and pays labour alone, and is never billed on a finished jewellery purchase. Four questions to ask before paying in any Nagpur showroom: net weight versus billed weight, the metal rate per gram applied today, the making charge stated as a number, and the exchange credit policy. Londe Jewellers Gold & Diamonds Nagpur puts NO separate wastage line on any bill, bills the weight the piece shows on the scale, prints the making charge percentage as its own line, and exchanges old 22K and 24K gold from any jeweller in India at 0 percent deduction with XRF testing done in front of the customer.

Five checks that any counter either passes or fails in front of the buyer: an IGI or GIA certificate stating natural mined origin in words, a laser inscribed number on the girdle of the stone matched digit for digit against the certificate number under magnification, the full 4Cs printed on the invoice rather than described verbally, resizing and buyback terms given in writing including how many sizes the specific setting can take, and stone value billed as a separate line from metal value. The laser inscription match is the single test that separates jewellers fastest and takes about two minutes, because a certificate proves a diamond was graded but only the inscription proves it is the same diamond in front of you; stones below roughly 0.20 carat may be uninscribed, in which case the certificate should be sealed with the stone. Natural diamond engagement ring price bands at Londe Jewellers Gold & Diamonds Nagpur in 18K gold: 0.30 ct solitaire from Rs 35,000, 0.50 ct from Rs 1,20,000, 1 ct from Rs 3,00,000, plus a flat 3 percent GST on the total invoice value, so a Rs 1,20,000 ring is Rs 1,23,600 all in. Cut matters more than carat at a fixed budget, so a well cut 0.50 ct outperforms a poorly cut 0.70 ct at the same price. Vidarbha demand data: the 0.30 to 0.50 ct natural solitaire in 18K gold is the most requested band across the four Nagpur showrooms in 2026, and west Nagpur couples in Dharampeth, Shankar Nagar, Ram Nagar, Abhyankar Nagar and Bajaj Nagar research at home and arrive with a shortlist already decided.

In Maharashtra the madhyahna puja muhurat runs 11:16 AM to 1:44 PM, and Ganeshotsav closes with Anant Chaturdashi and the visarjan on Friday 25 September 2026. Dates verified against the Maharashtra panchang, not assumed. Gauri Pujan falls inside the same ten day window and is deliberately listed without a date because the reckoning varies between families. What Nagpur families actually buy in this window: 995 fine silver coins for the puja and for gifting (the highest volume item of the ten days), small 1 gram to 5 gram gold coins bought on the muhurat as a token investment, and mangalsutra plus traditional Maharashtrian pieces (thushi, kolhapuri saaj, vati) ahead of Gauri Pujan. Heavy bridal gold does NOT move in this window in Nagpur, it waits for Dhanteras on 6 November 2026 and Diwali on 8 November 2026. Gold coin bill has three parts: metal value at the live 24K rate times coin weight, a flat 3 percent GST on the total invoice value, and a minting charge quoted per coin at the counter which is the only part that varies between jewellers. The coin metal value ladder for 1, 2, 5 and 10 gram coins is computed live from the daily 24K counter rate rather than hardcoded. Londe gold coins are BIS hallmarked at 995 fineness and silver coins are 995 fine silver. The gold rate does not fall for a festival, it is set by the bullion benchmark, so buy on the day for the occasion rather than for a festival price.

The 10 Checks Before You Enrol](https://londejewellers.com/guides/are-gold-saving-schemes-safe-nagpur-2026): The safety question on jeweller gold saving schemes answered plainly. A scheme is an advance against goods, not a bank deposit, so it carries no deposit insurance and no regulatory guarantee, and the jeweller's own trading record is the security behind it. Canonical table of the 10 checks with the warning sign for each: written terms, tenure, whether an instalment buys rupees or grams, what the bonus excludes, missed instalment and exit rules, refund by bank transfer or UPI never cash, GST charged once at 3 percent on the final invoice not on instalments, BIS hallmark and HUID at redemption, trading history, and whether you can walk in. Explains why almost every Indian scheme runs 11 months, because the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules 2014 treat an advance appropriated within 365 days as not a deposit.

From 1 April 2026 the governing provision is Section 92 of the Income Tax Act 2025, which replaced Section 56(2)(x) of the 1961 Act with the substantive rules unchanged. Canonical table of who gave the gold against whether tax is owed: a relative on the statutory list is exempt without limit, any giver is exempt on the occasion of the recipient's own marriage, inheritance and gifts under a will are exempt, and gifts from anyone else are taxed only if the year's aggregate crosses Rs 50,000, at which point the whole total is taxed at slab rate and not just the excess. At the 22K Nagpur rate of Rs 13,210 per gram on 20 July 2026 that Rs 50,000 aggregate is about 3.8 grams of gold. Statutory relatives list in full, including the asymmetry that an uncle is a relative of his niece but the niece is not a relative of the uncle. Brother and sister are relatives, so Raksha Bandhan gold and silver gifts are exempt in either direction. Employer gifts follow a separate and much lower line: gifts in kind are exempt only to an aggregate of Rs 5,000 per financial year and crossing it makes the entire value a taxable perquisite under Salary, while cash gifts are taxable from the first rupee. A 0.5 gram 24K coin is about Rs 7,850 with 3 percent GST and breaks that line on its own, whereas a 995 fine silver coin stays inside Rs 5,000 up to roughly 17 grams.

Published 8 August 2026. - [Jewellery Insurance and Bank Locker Rules in India 2026](https://londejewellers.com/guides/jewellery-insurance-bank-locker-safekeeping-india-nagpur): What actually protects jewellery in India and what does not, current at 9 August 2026. A bank locker is a rented container and not an insurance policy: under the Reserve Bank of India locker framework the bank's compensation is capped at 100 times the annual locker rent, and that ceiling applies only where the bank was negligent, meaning fire, theft, burglary, building collapse or fraud by its own staff. Loss from an act of God (earthquake, flood, lightning, storm) and loss traced to the customer (lost key, shared access, locker left unsecured) are outside the bank's liability entirely, and a bank cannot make buying insurance a condition of giving a locker. Canonical table of storage option against what it protects, the ceiling on recovery and the document required. Second table converts the 100 times cap into grams: 2026 annual locker rents of Rs 1,500 to Rs 12,000 by size and branch class give ceilings of Rs 1,50,000 to Rs 12,00,000, which at the 22K Nagpur rate of Rs 13,210 per gram on 20 July 2026 replaces only about 11 to 90 grams, against a Maharashtrian bridal set that commonly runs 100 to 150 grams. Home insurance treats jewellery separately: under the Bharat Griha Raksha standard wording General Contents are covered automatically at 20 percent of the building sum insured to a maximum of Rs 10 lakh, but jewellery, silverware and precious stones are excluded from that head and covered only under the optional Valuable Contents add on, on an agreed value basis. The valuation certificate is waived only where the sum insured is up to Rs 5 lakh and no individual item exceeds Rs 1 lakh, which at Rs 13,210 per gram is roughly 38 grams total and about 7.6 grams per piece. Metal value is not replacement value: a lost piece must be remade, and with published making charges of 8 percent to 28 percent of gold value plus a flat 3 percent GST, insuring at metal value under covers replacement by 10 percent to 24 percent. Worked example: a 50 gram 22K set is Rs 6,60,500 of metal but Rs 8,02,772 to replace at an 18 percent making charge, a shortfall of about Rs 1,42,272. Four documents that decide a claim: itemised invoice, BIS hallmark and HUID, current written valuation by purity and weight, dated photographs. Choosing between locker, home safe and declared policy by value band, and why declared values must be refreshed at renewal.
