Gold Price Today in Bikaner

The 22 karat, or 916, gold rate in Bikaner today is shown per gram and per tola in the live table at the top of this page, refreshed every business day against MCX and IBJA benchmarks. It excludes making charges, wastage, GST and stone value.

The 24 karat, 99.9 percent pure, gold rate in Bikaner today is shown alongside 22K, 18K and 14K in the live table above. 24K is the benchmark rate used for coins and bars, not typical jewellery.

The underlying bullion price is the same nationally. Small differences come from local transport cost, since Bikaner draws bullion through Jodhpur roughly 245 kilometres away, and from local demand and competitive dynamics among jewellers, not from any difference in gold quality.

Making charges in Bikaner typically range from 8 percent at a local family jeweller for machine made pieces to 25 percent or more for fine handcrafted kundan and meenakari bridal work, on top of the gold value, before 3 percent GST.

3 percent GST applies to the combined value of gold and making charges on most retail jewellery invoices in Bikaner, billed as a composite supply.

Check for the BIS triangle mark, the purity number such as 916, and the 6 character HUID stamped on the piece, then verify the HUID against the BIS Care app to confirm it matches a registered piece.

BIS registered Assaying and Hallmarking Centres serving Bikaner can test any piece independently of where it was bought. Use the BIS Care app to locate the nearest registered centre.

Yes. In Rajasthan and most of North India, 1 tola equals 10 grams. This differs from the pavan used in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, roughly 8 grams, and the bhari used in Bihar, Bengal, Odisha, Assam and Jharkhand, roughly 11.6638 grams.

No. Lucira's Experience Centres are currently in Mumbai, Pune and the Delhi NCR area. Bikaner buyers can shop online, with a 15 day return window covering the in hand inspection a showroom would otherwise provide.

Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras are the two major national buying windows, though both often carry elevated premiums due to high demand. For a planned purchase like a wedding, buying gradually over several months rather than waiting for a specific date usually works out better.

Most Bikaner jewellers buy back gold at a percentage of the day's rate, deducting a margin. Always get the offered rate and deduction confirmed in writing before agreeing to sell. Lucira offers a 90 percent buyback on gold value regardless of purchase location.

These serve different purposes. Holding gold is a savings and investment decision. A gold loan uses existing gold as collateral for short term liquidity, at lower interest than an unsecured personal loan, but risks the pledged jewellery if you default.

CBDT guidelines set indicative limits without requiring source proof at 500 grams for a married woman, 250 grams for an unmarried woman and 100 grams for a man, per family member. These are tax scrutiny thresholds, not a hard legal cap, and holding more is fine with proper documentation.

Kundan is a traditional Rajasthani stone setting technique using refined gold foil to hold uncut gemstones in place, often paired with meenakari, coloured enamel work, on the reverse. Both are common in Bikaner and wider Rajasthani bridal jewellery and typically carry higher making charges due to the handwork involved.

Platinum trades on a separate benchmark from gold. See the Bikaner platinum rate page for today's live platinum price per gram.
