Buying tips

How to buy gold in Karachi

Confirm purity: 24k (pure) or 22k (common retail standard, more durable).
Ask the dealer to show the Saraf rate quote and itemize making charges separately from the spot price.
Request weight verification on certified scales before payment.
Always ask for a receipt with purity, weight, and breakdown of spot rate plus making charges.
Compare final retail prices: Saraf rate + making charges + dealer margin. Spot price alone is not the full retail cost.
Be aware of GST and any applicable taxes on jewellery purchases.

Weight conversion

Common weights in Karachi gold buying

1 tola = 11.664 grams: The traditional unit in Pakistan. Most retail quotes and old jewellery weight is given in tolas.
10 grams: A modern standard that bridges traditional and metric. Easier to calculate than tolas for international comparisons.
1 gram: The spot rate basis. Multiply by grams or tolas to get the total gold content cost.
Example: If 24k spot is PKR 100/gram, 1 tola of 24k = PKR 1,166 before making charges.
