Gold vs FD vs Equity — Which Is Better?

Gold has delivered ~12% CAGR in India over 10 years (₹2,800/gram in 2014 to ₹7,400 in 2024). FD delivers a steady 6-7%. Equity (Nifty 50) has delivered 14-15% CAGR. For best results: diversify across all three.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 22K and 24K gold?

24K gold is 99.9% pure but very soft. 22K gold (91.6% pure) is mixed with copper/silver to make it harder for jewellery. 18K (75%) and 14K (58.3%) are used for more durable, affordable jewellery.

What are making charges in gold jewellery?

Making charges are the labour fee for crafting jewellery. They range from 8-30% of gold value depending on design complexity. Plain bangles have low charges; intricate necklaces have high charges.

Is GST applicable on gold?

Yes. Gold attracts 3% GST on the total invoice value (gold + making charges). This is non-refundable, so factor it when calculating resale value.

What is buyback value?

Jewellers typically offer 92-97% of the current gold rate for buyback. We use 95% as the estimate. Banks/dealers may offer 98%+ for bars/coins.

Is gold a good investment?

Gold has delivered ~12% CAGR historically in India (including rupee depreciation). It's a hedge against inflation, but equity markets tend to outperform gold over 10+ years. Diversification is key.
