Important Tips When Buying Gold:

1. Buy Only BIS Hallmarked Gold
   Always ensure that the gold you purchase is BIS-certified. It should have a 6-digit unique Hallmark Identification Number (HUID), such as AZ4524, which guarantees the gold’s purity.

2. Verify the Rate and Weight
   Cross-check the gold rate and weight from multiple reliable sources on the day of purchase. Keep in mind that prices differ for 24K, 22K, and 18K gold.

3. Opt for Digital Payment and Proper Receipt
   Prefer digital payment methods such as UPI, debit/credit cards over cash, and always ask for a proper bill. For online purchases, carefully inspect the packaging and hallmarking.
