GST is levied on metal and making charges together, not on the metal alone — the ordering most bills get queried over. Making charges vary widely by design and jeweller: plain chains sit nearer 8–12%, intricate and stone-set work runs far higher. Enter the figure your jeweller quotes rather than the default. Indicative calculation; the invoice governs.

916 Hallmark Gold Rate Today in Bangalore (22 Carat)

Today's 22 carat 916 hallmark gold price in Bangalore is ₹13734 per gram, which works out to ₹1,37,340 for 10 gram. "916" is simply the hallmark stamp for 22 carat gold: it certifies 91.6% pure gold in the alloy, which is why the 916 rate and the 22 carat rate in Bangalore are always the same number — two names for one price.

A note on a common search that mixes the two up: there is no such thing as 24 carat 916 hallmark. The 916 stamp belongs to 22 carat gold only. Pure 24 carat gold carries the 999 hallmark and costs ₹14993 per gram (₹1,49,930 per 10 gram) in Bangalore today. If a shop offers you "24 carat 916", the two marks contradict each other — ask which purity is actually stamped on the piece.

Every hallmarked ornament sold in India must also carry a six-digit HUID alongside the purity mark. Type that code into the BIS Care app before you pay and it returns the jeweller and the certified purity in seconds — the only check that turns a counter's claim about 916 gold into a verifiable fact.

The same rate applies across the wider metro: today's gold rate in Electronic City, Whitefield and Yelahanka matches Bangalore at ₹13734 per gram for 22 carat 916 hallmark gold. Bullion is priced by one association rate for the whole metropolitan region, so travelling between suburbs to chase a better metal rate saves nothing — the only figure that genuinely changes between shops is the making charge.

Purity Hallmark 1 gram 10 gram
24 carat 999 ₹14993 ₹1,49,930
22 carat 916 ₹13734 ₹1,37,340
18 carat 750 ₹11245 ₹1,12,450

Indicative Bangalore metal rates for 2026-10-10, before GST and making charges. 22 carat (916) is the purity almost all Indian jewellery uses; 24 carat (999) is for coins and bars.

Gold in Bangalore: the local picture

Bangalore's gold market runs on two operating systems at once. The traditional one lives in Chickpet and Avenue Road, where family jewellery houses have traded for generations and Karnataka's wedding gold is still bought the classical way. The modern one lives everywhere else in the city — a salaried, tech-driven consumer base that comparison-shops rates online, buys coins and digital gold as portfolio allocation, and walks into showrooms with the day's price already on their phone. Rates here typically carry a modest southern premium over the national base, in line with Karnataka demand.

The buying calendar blends pan-Indian and Kannadiga peaks: Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras citywide, Varamahalakshmi Vratha a distinctly strong jewellery occasion, and Ugadi opening the festival year. Wedding demand runs deep — Karnataka bridal traditions favour substantial 22K with regional designs — while the city's migrant-professional population layers every other regional tradition on top.

One more Bangalore distinction: the city’s buyers increasingly treat physical and paper gold as one portfolio — sovereign bonds, ETFs and digital gold sitting beside the family’s 22K — and the showrooms have adapted with coin programs and buyback clarity aimed at exactly that customer. The result is a market where a jeweller can discuss annualized returns without blinking, which changes the buying conversation in ways traditionalist cities would find startling.

Popular Jewellery Markets in Bangalore

Bangalore's gold geography spans a historic trading quarter, classic shopping streets and neighbourhood jewellery rows:

Chickpet & Avenue Road

The old city's jewellery and textile quarter — dense lanes of traditional houses and wholesale-adjacent dealers where Bangalore has bought wedding gold for a century. The sharpest making charges in the city and deep traditional inventory; the usual old-market rules on hallmark checks and invoices apply doubly in the busiest lanes.

Jayanagar 4th Block

South Bangalore's beloved shopping district — a full row of established jewellery houses, from Karnataka's own brands to national chains, at mid-market making charges with strong old-gold exchange practice. Arguably the city's best balance of trust, price and convenience.

Commercial Street & MG Road

The central shopping corridor — branded showrooms and long-standing houses serving the cosmopolitan crowd. Brand-level making charges bought back with catalogues, certification and buyback; strong for contemporary and diamond-set 18K work.

Malleswaram (Sampige Road)

The traditional north-Bangalore heartland — heritage family jewellers with loyal generational clienteles, classical Karnataka designs, and temple-adjacent religious-occasion buying. Mid-market charges with old-school service.

Basavanagudi (DVG Road & Gandhi Bazaar)

The old south's cultural quarter — smaller traditional houses strong in classical and temple designs, serving neighbourhood weddings and festivals at negotiable charges.

Gold Buying in Bangalore: Tradition Meets Spreadsheet

Bangalore may be India's most rate-aware gold market. The tech-salaried buyer arrives having checked the day's price, compared two brands' making charges online, and often having already allocated investment gold through digital platforms or ETFs — physical coin purchases here compete consciously with paper gold. Jewellers respond with published rates, transparent charge menus and lightweight contemporary lines aimed at exactly this buyer.

The traditional market thrives in parallel: Karnataka weddings still demand substantial 22K, Varamahalakshmi drives seasonal jewellery buying, and the Chickpet houses keep custom and heritage work alive. Old-gold exchange is unusually fluid here — the professional class upgrades designs rather than accumulating weight, and most established houses run practiced exchange programs.

Local buying wisdom: split investment from ornament (coins near the metal rate, jewellery with negotiated charges); use Jayanagar and Malleswaram as the sanity check between Chickpet's prices and Commercial Street's polish; and in wedding season, book making-charge quotes early — Bangalore's showrooms honour quoted charges for scheduled deliveries, a convenience the city's calendar-driven professionals actually use.

What a purchase bills in Bangalore today

Metal: 10g × 22K rate ₹1,37,340
Making charges (12% typical) ₹16,481
GST @ 3% ₹4,615
Hallmarking (per piece) ₹45
Approx. bill total ₹1,58,481

Making charges are the negotiable line — 8–25% by design complexity, softer in lean season. Traditional counters may quote separate wastage on handcrafted pieces; treat it as a negotiation opening. Coins and bars skip making charges (2–6% premia), which is why investment money belongs in coins and ornament money in negotiated jewellery.

Gold loans in Bangalore: what today's rate lets you borrow

Today's Bangalore rate also prices the other side of the counter: pledging instead of buying. At current levels, 22K jewellery supports a gold loan of up to about ₹11,674 per gram at the small-loan LTV tier (85%, for loans up to ₹2.5 lakh) — roughly ₹1,16,740 against 10 grams — with banks and NBFCs across Bangalore disbursing same-day against appraised ornaments, no income proof required.

The rate you pay varies far more than the rate you receive: gold-loan interest runs from PSU-bank floors near 9% to NBFC convenience schemes above 20%. Our gold loan rate today page tracks per-gram advances daily, the gold loan hub compares 18 lenders honestly, and the eligibility calculator converts your grams into a borrowing figure in seconds.

बेंगलुरु में सोने का भाव — अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल

आज बेंगलुरु में सोने का भाव क्या है?
आज (2026-10-10) बेंगलुरु में सोने का रेट: 24 कैरेट ₹14993 प्रति ग्राम (₹1,49,930 प्रति 10 ग्राम), 22 कैरेट ₹13734 प्रति ग्राम और 18 कैरेट ₹11245 प्रति ग्राम। यह धातु का भाव है — ज्वेलरी के बिल में मेकिंग चार्ज और 3% GST अलग से जुड़ते हैं। यह पेज रोज़ अपडेट होता है, इसलिए आज सोने का रेट देखने के लिए इसे बुकमार्क कर लें।
बेंगलुरु में 22 कैरेट सोने का रेट प्रति 10 ग्राम कितना है?
आज 22 कैरेट सोने का भाव बेंगलुरु में ₹13734 प्रति ग्राम यानी ₹1,37,340 प्रति 10 ग्राम है। 22 कैरेट (916 हॉलमार्क) में 91.6% शुद्ध सोना होता है — भारतीय ज्वेलरी का स्टैंडर्ड यही है, इसलिए शादी और गहनों का बजट इसी रेट से बनता है। पिछले 30 दिनों में यहाँ भाव करीब -1.6% उतरा है।
बेंगलुरु में सोना चिकपेट से लें या शोरूम से?
चिकपेट और एवेन्यू रोड की दुकानों में मेकिंग चार्ज अक्सर बड़े शोरूम से कम मिलता है और मोलभाव की परंपरा है — बशर्ते आप हॉलमार्क HUID जांचें और पक्का बिल लें। जयनगर या कमर्शियल स्ट्रीट के ब्रांडेड शोरूम फिक्स्ड लेकिन पारदर्शी रेट देते हैं, एक्सचेंज पॉलिसी साफ होती है। धातु का भाव दोनों जगह एक ही है — तय आपको मेकिंग चार्ज और भरोसे के आधार पर करना है।
क्या बेंगलुरु में डिजिटल गोल्ड फिजिकल सोने से बेहतर है?
दोनों के काम अलग हैं। छोटी-छोटी रकम नियमित जोड़ने के लिए डिजिटल गोल्ड सुविधाजनक है, पर उसमें खरीद-बिक्री का स्प्रेड और प्लेटफॉर्म की शर्तें छिपी लागत हैं। बड़ी रकम के लिए हॉलमार्क सिक्का या SGB जैसे विकल्प ज्यादा पारदर्शी हैं। पहनने के लिए तो फिजिकल ज्वेलरी ही है — बस निवेश और श्रृंगार का पैसा अलग-अलग रखें, यही बेंगलुरु के समझदार खरीदारों का तरीका है।
बेंगलुरु में पुराने गहनों पर गोल्ड लोन कहाँ मिलता है?
बैंक शाखाओं से लेकर गोल्ड लोन NBFC तक — बेंगलुरु के हर बड़े इलाके में गिरवी की सुविधा है, ज्यादातर उसी दिन डिस्बर्सल के साथ। 22 कैरेट गहनों पर आज के भाव के हिसाब से RBI की LTV सीमा (छोटे लोन पर 85% तक) के भीतर प्रति ग्राम रकम मिलती है। ब्याज दर बैंक और NBFC में काफी अलग होती है — पहले हमारे गोल्ड लोन रेट पेज पर तुलना करके जाएँ।

Gold rate in Bangalore — FAQs

What is today's gold rate in Bangalore?
On 2026-10-10's indicative reference: 24K ₹14993/gram (₹1,49,930/10g), 22K ₹13734/gram and 18K ₹11245/gram in Bangalore. These are metal rates — a jewellery bill adds making charges and 3% GST, broken down in the cost section on this page. Bangalore counters quote within a few rupees either side of these references.
What is the 22K gold rate per gram in Bangalore today?
About ₹13734/gram today (₹1,37,340 per 10 grams). 22K is 91.6% fine gold — the standard for Indian jewellery — so its rate always tracks 24K × 0.916. This is the number that matters for wedding and ornament budgets in Bangalore, since almost all jewellery here is 22K or 18K, not 24K.
Why does the gold price change every day?
Gold is priced globally and re-priced continuously: international bullion moves on US rates, inflation and geopolitics; the rupee translates those moves into Indian prices; import duty and taxes complete the landed cost. Bangalore's quotes follow the same national reference daily with a small local premium. Over the last 30 days the rate here has eased about ₹251/g (-1.6%).
Is the gold rate in Bangalore inclusive of GST?
No — quoted gold rates (this page and jeweller boards alike) are pre-tax metal rates. Your bill adds 3% GST on metal plus making charges, and making charges themselves (8–25% by design) before that. The worked example on this page shows the full stack: at today's rate, a 10-gram 22K purchase bills roughly ₹1,58,481 all-in at a mid-range making charge.
What is today's gold rate in Bangalore for 22 carat 916 hallmark per 10 gram?
Today's 22 carat 916 hallmark gold rate in Bangalore is ₹13734 per gram, so 10 gram costs ₹1,37,340. The 916 hallmark certifies 91.6% purity, which is exactly what 22 carat means — the 916 rate and the 22 carat rate are the same figure. This is the metal price only; a jewellery bill adds making charges and 3% GST on top.
Is there a 24 carat 916 hallmark gold rate?
No — the two marks contradict each other. 916 is the hallmark for 22 carat gold (91.6% pure), while 24 carat gold is stamped 999. Today in Bangalore, 22 carat 916 is ₹13734/gram and 24 carat 999 is ₹14993/gram. If a seller describes an item as "24 carat 916", ask to see the actual hallmark and the six-digit HUID stamped on the piece.
Is the gold rate in Electronic City different from Bangalore?
No. Today's 22 carat 916 hallmark rate in Electronic City, Whitefield, Yelahanka is the same ₹13734 per gram as Bangalore, because bullion is priced by a single association rate across the metropolitan region. What does differ between shops is the making charge — commonly 8–25% of metal value — so compare that rather than travelling for the metal price.
Why does Bangalore's gold rate differ from Chennai's?
Both carry southern premia over the national base, with Chennai usually a shade higher on demand intensity and trade convention — the gap between them stays in the tens of rupees per gram. Neither is "wrong": each city's dealer associations publish against the same international price and rupee. Cross-city arbitrage never survives making charges and travel.
Where should I buy gold in Bangalore?
Chickpet/Avenue Road for the sharpest charges and traditional depth; Jayanagar 4th Block for the best trust-price balance; Commercial Street and MG Road for brands and diamond-set work; Malleswaram and Basavanagudi for heritage houses and classical designs. Verify the HUID hallmark everywhere — the BIS Care app takes seconds.
Is digital gold better than coins for Bangalore investors?
They solve different problems: digital gold and ETFs win on storage, spreads and SIP-ability — natural for the city's salaried investors — while physical coins win for gifting, ceremony and zero counterparty dependence. Many Bangalore buyers deliberately run both. If buying physical for investment, minimize the premium: reputed dealers over bank counters, and always with invoice.
What making charges are normal in Bangalore?
Roughly 8–14% at Chickpet's traditional houses for standard 22K work, 12–18% at the established mid-market rows, and 18–25% at branded showrooms — intricate and bridal work higher everywhere. Every one of those numbers is negotiable except the brands' floor. Quote comparison across two districts is a half-day that routinely saves five figures on a wedding set.
When is gold-buying season in Bangalore?
Varamahalakshmi (July–August) is the distinctly Kannadiga jewellery peak, alongside pan-Indian Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras; wedding season runs its southern calendar through winter and early summer muhurthams. Lean months (roughly September–October between festivals, and March) offer the softest making charges and the emptiest showrooms.
How do I sell or exchange gold in Bangalore?
Fluidly, by Indian standards: the established Jayanagar and Chickpet houses run practiced exchange programs (assay in view, negotiable deductions, credit itemized on the new bill), and the brands offer published buyback policies for their own invoiced pieces. Selling outright fetches best value with original invoices and hallmarked weight — one more reason the city’s paperwork-first buying culture pays on the way out.
