Gold, especially coins and jewellery, has always been important in India, whether for traditional customs, festive occasions or as a safe way to save money. If you’re thinking of buying gold, you would have come across two options: 22K and 24K gold. At first, they might seem the same, but they are different in terms of purity, strength and how you can use them. The right choice depends on your needs and investment goals. Let’s break it down to help you pick a suitable option.
A family may spend years building its gold holdings slowly through weddings, festivals, gifts, inheritance and long-term savings. Over time, what begins as a few purchases can quietly grow into a high-value financial asset sitting inside a home locker or bank vault. But many people only think about protection after hearing about theft, accidental loss, fire damage or insurance claim disputes.
India has once again increased the import duty on gold and silver, taking the total effective duty to 15% from May 13, 2026. The move has immediately brought attention to jewellery prices, bullion markets and even the broader economy because gold continues to hold an important place in Indian households as both a purchase and a form of savings.
