India’s gold price differs from state to state due to fluctuating tax rates and other fees imposed by local governments. Buyers of gold jewellery would be required to invest higher amounts than the gold rates in their state as these rates do not take into consideration the making charges and higher GST rates that are added on finished intricate jewellery.
