How GoldMap sources, verifies, and publishes gold rate information.

Last updated: June 2026

Our commitment

GoldMap is committed to providing accurate, timely, and transparent precious metals rate information to Indian consumers. We follow strict editorial standards to ensure every rate, article, and calculator on this website is trustworthy and useful.

Gold and silver rate information on GoldMap falls under the category of financial data. We treat this responsibility seriously and hold ourselves to the highest standards of accuracy and transparency.

Data sourcing

All gold and silver rates published on GoldMap are sourced exclusively from the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), the primary authority on precious metals pricing in India.

On market holidays and non-trading days, we display the most recent available rate clearly marked with the date it was last updated.

Rate accuracy and disclaimer

While we make every effort to publish accurate rates promptly, GoldMap rates are indicative only. Actual transaction rates at jewellers may differ based on:

• Making charges (varies by jeweller, typically 8-25%)
• GST (3% on gold jewellery)
• Local jewellers association pricing adjustments
• Individual jeweller margins

Always confirm the final rate with your jeweller before completing a purchase. GoldMap does not provide financial advice and is not responsible for purchase decisions made based on rates displayed on this website.
