The rate above is the metal alone. A real bill adds the jeweller's making charges, and then 3% GST on the metal and the making charges together — the GST Council sets that rate; see the CBIC GST rate schedules.
Making charges are set by each jeweller — commonly 6–15% of metal value on machine-made pieces and higher on handwork — so nobody can put them in a rate board. Put yours into the calculator and it will break a total into metal, making and tax.

The same rate at the weights a purchase actually comes in. Every figure is the metal alone, ex-GST, derived from the per-gram rate in the card above — so these cannot drift away from the headline the way a hand-kept table would.
| Weight | 24K | 22K | 18K |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 gram | ₹14,810 | ₹13,576 | ₹11,108 |
| 8 grams | ₹1,18,483 | ₹1,08,609 | ₹88,862 |
| 10 grams | ₹1,48,104 | ₹1,35,762 | ₹1,11,078 |
| 1 tola (11.664 g) | ₹1,72,745 | ₹1,58,350 | ₹1,29,559 |

The Kolkata market
Kolkata is the principal gold market of eastern India and the trade centre for the region's celebrated goldsmithing tradition. Rates here typically sit close to Mumbai's, and the city supplies artisan labour to jewellery workshops across the country.
Bowbazar (Bipin Bihari Ganguly Street) is the historic centre of the trade, with bullion dealers and a dense concentration of workshops. Bara Bazar handles wholesale volume, while Gariahat and the southern suburbs carry the retail showrooms.
Kolkata's real distinction is craftsmanship rather than metal price: Bengali goldsmiths are sought after nationally for fine handwork. That shows up in making charges on intricate pieces, not in the underlying gold rate.
Gold-only movement, converted at today's INR rate
Ten daily closes per 10 grams, ex-GST. Read this as the movement in the metal: each past dollar close is converted at today's exchange rate, not at the rate that applied on the day, so the rupee column is not a record of what gold cost in Kolkata on those dates. Until we hold a daily USD/INR series, saying so is the honest version of this table.

How this rate is worked out
We start from the international spot price of gold in US dollars per troy ounce, convert it to rupees per gram at the European Central Bank's daily reference rate, add India's 15% import duty, and apply a flat trade premium. We quote Kolkata at parity with Mumbai — no regional adjustment is applied — which reflects how closely the two markets have historically tracked one another.
Purities follow exact ratios: 22K is 22/24 of the 24K rate, 18K is 18/24. The methodology page gives every constant, the date it was last checked, and an explicit list of what this figure cannot tell you.
Our Kolkata figure applies a fixed regional adjustment to a nationally derived rate. We do not survey local jewellers or publish any bullion association's rate. Treat it as a well-documented reference level, and expect a counter price to differ. See the risk disclaimer.
24K, 22K and 18K — which one applies to you
| Karat | Hallmark | Purity | Typically used for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K | 999 | 99.9% | Coins, bars, investment metal. Too soft for most jewellery. |
| 22K | 916 | 91.6% | The standard for Indian gold jewellery. |
| 18K | 750 | 75.0% | Diamond settings and contemporary designs; harder and more durable. |
The hallmark number is the purity in parts per thousand, and each rate is an exact fraction of the 24K figure. 22K vs 24K gold and what 916 means covers the alloy, how to read a BIS hallmark and how to check one.
Duty, GST and hallmarking
Import duty of 15%. India imports almost all of its gold, and the customs duty on it is 15% (10% basic customs duty + 5% AIDC), administered by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs. That duty is inside the rates on this page, because it is inside the price a shop pays for its metal.
GST of 3% is not. Indian rate boards quote ex-GST by convention and so do we. Gold and gold jewellery are taxed at 3% of the transaction value — see the CBIC GST rate schedules — and that value includes making charges, not just the metal. The jewellery price calculator applies both.
Hallmarking is mandatory. Gold jewellery sold in India must carry a BIS hallmark: the BIS mark, the purity grade (999, 916, 750) and a six-digit HUID. Check all three before paying, and see the BIS hallmarking FAQs for what each mark means and how to verify one.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the Kolkata gold rate similar to Mumbai’s?
The two markets have historically tracked each other closely, so we apply no regional adjustment to Kolkata. Any difference you see at a counter will come from the individual jeweller rather than from a citywide premium.
Are making charges higher in Kolkata?
Often yes for handcrafted work, because the city specialises in fine handmade jewellery that takes more skilled labour. Machine-made pieces are broadly in line with elsewhere. Making charges are never part of a published gold rate.
What does the 916 stamp on Kolkata jewellery mean?
916 means 91.6% pure gold, which is 22 karat. It is the standard hallmark for Indian gold jewellery. A 999 stamp is 24 karat, used for coins and bars.
Does this page show the Bengal Bullion Merchants association rate?
No. We do not source association rates from any city. Our figure is derived from international spot plus duty and a flat premium — see the methodology page for the full derivation and this limitation stated in full.
Silver rate in Kolkata
The silver figure in the card above is the national rate per kilogram, ex-GST — we apply the same regional adjustment to silver as to gold, and no city-specific silver survey sits behind it. Silver price today carries the ounce, gram and kilogram quotes, the ten-day board and the gold/silver ratio.
