Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How are capital gains on physical gold taxed in India?
Physical gold held for more than 24 months is classified as a long-term capital asset and taxed accordingly, whereas holdings sold within 24 months attract short-term capital gains tax as per your income tax slab.
Does this calculator account for making charges or GST?
The tool calculates returns based purely on bullion value. If you purchased physical jewelry or coins with making charges and 3% GST, you can factor those initial expenses into your purchase price per gram for higher accuracy.
What is the difference between physical gold and digital gold?
Physical gold involves secure storage and fabrication costs, while digital gold and Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) offer paperless convenience and additional interest payouts (in the case of SGBs).
