Frequently asked questions
How many grams are in 1 tola?
1 tola = 11.6638 grams.
How do I calculate the price of 22K gold?
Multiply the 24K price by 22 and divide by 24. For example, if 24K is Rs 300,000 per tola, 22K is Rs 275,000 per tola.
Why does the jeweller offer less than this value?
Jewellers deduct for impurities, solder and making charges when buying jewellery, so the buying price is usually lower than the market value of pure gold.
