Dhanteras and Diwali 2026: What to Know Before You Buy

Dhanteras falls in the first week of November 2026, just before Diwali, and many Indian families buy gold, silver or a small coin on this day. Check the exact puja and buying muhurat in a trusted panchang for your city, because timings change by location.

Demand usually rises in the days around the festival, and jewellers often run offers on making charges, so it helps to compare a few shops a week early and not decide on the day itself.

Smart Gold Buying Checklist

1. Hallmark: look for the BIS hallmark and the 6-character HUID.

2. Making charges: these can differ more between shops than the gold rate does. Ask for them in writing.

3. Bill: it should list weight, purity, rate, making charges and GST separately.

4. Buyback: ask about exchange and buyback terms before paying.

5. Other options: gold ETFs, sovereign gold bonds (when open) and digital gold avoid making charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the rate here different from my jeweller's?

This page shows an indicative national rate based on international prices. Local taxes, jeweller margins, city and timing cause differences.

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

24K is nearly pure gold (99.9%) and is used for coins and bars. 22K (91.6%) is mixed with other metals so it is strong enough for jewellery.

When does the rate on this page update?

It refreshes automatically through the day, and the daily email goes out every morning around 9 AM IST.

Does the rate include making charges and GST?

The per-gram rate excludes making charges. Jewellery attracts 3% GST on the gold value and a separate GST on making charges. Use the calculator above for an estimate.

Is Dhanteras a good day to buy gold?

It is traditionally considered auspicious, so demand and offers both go up. Whether it is a good time financially depends on prices and your needs, so compare rates over a few days.

How do I check if gold jewellery is genuine?

Look for the BIS hallmark, the purity mark and the 6-character HUID, and verify the HUID in the BIS Care app. Make sure the bill matches.

What is the difference between karat and carat?

Karat measures gold purity (24 karat is pure). Carat measures the weight of gemstones such as diamonds.

Are digital gold, gold ETFs and bonds better than jewellery?

They avoid making charges and storage worries, but each has its own rules, costs and risks. Jewellery gives you something to wear and gift. Pick what fits your goal.

How do I unsubscribe from the daily email?

Every email has an Unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click and you are off the list.

Is this financial advice?

No. This is general information. Gold prices move, so decide based on your own needs, and confirm rates with your jeweller.
