Common Billing Errors to Watch For
Gross Weight vs Net Weight
Jewellers must charge only for net weight (gold weight minus stone/rhodium weight). Billing on gross weight is incorrect and inflates your gold cost significantly. Always ask to see the weight ticket.
Wrong Purity Used for Rate
A piece stamped 22K (916) should be billed at the 22K rate, not 24K. Some jewellers accidentally (or deliberately) apply the higher 24K rate. Verify the purity stamping matches the rate used.
GST Applied Twice
GST of 3% applies on gold + making charges combined. Some bills incorrectly apply GST separately to multiple components, resulting in a higher effective tax rate. Ask for a clear GST breakup.
FAQ — Jewellery Bill Validation
GST on gold jewellery is 3% on the total of gold value + making charges. Making charges alone also attract 5% GST, but most jewellers consolidate this into a 3% overall rate on the full bill value. Diamond jewellery incurs 1.5% GST on the diamond component.
Yes. Stones (diamonds, rubies, emeralds) are charged at a lower GST rate (typically 0.25% for cut diamonds). If your jeweller is charging 3% on the entire bill including high-value stones, you may be overpaying.
If the bill is marginally lower, it usually means a small discount was applied. This is legitimate. However, if substantially lower, verify the purity and weight used — sometimes a lower total hides lower gold quality.
Yes. Under BIS and consumer protection rules, any jewellery sold with a hallmark must have a bill showing weight, purity, rate, making charges, stone charges, and GST separately. Always insist on a proper itemised receipt.
