What 22 carat (916) gold means

22 carat gold is 22 parts gold out of 24, or 91.6% pure, written as 916 (parts per thousand). The rest is usually copper, silver or zinc, which makes the metal harder so it can be worked into jewellery that lasts. Most gold jewellery sold in India is 22K.

24K (999)
99.9% gold. Soft, so it is used mainly for coins and bars.
22K (916)
91.6% gold. The standard for Indian jewellery: rich colour and durable enough for daily wear.
18K (750)
75% gold. Harder; common for diamond and gem-set jewellery and lightweight designs.

How a 22K jewellery price is calculated

Jewellery price = (22K rate per gram × net gold weight) + making charges (and wastage, where a jeweller charges it) + 3% GST on the total. Stones are priced separately.

Example with round numbers (not today’s rate): 10 g at ₹10,000 per gram is ₹1,00,000. With a 12% making charge (₹12,000) the subtotal is ₹1,12,000, and 3% GST (₹3,360) brings the bill to ₹1,15,360.

Hallmark, HUID and making charges

  • Check the BIS hallmark on every piece: the BIS logo, the purity grade (for example 22K916 or 18K750) and a 6-digit HUID. Since 1 April 2023, registered jewellers may only sell hallmarked gold jewellery that carries a HUID (small items under 2 g and kundan, polki and jadau pieces are exempt).
  • Verify the HUID in the BIS CARE app (Verify HUID): it shows the purity, the type of article and the jeweller’s registration, which should match your bill.
  • Making charges vary widely. As general guidance, machine-made chains and plain bangles are often in the range of about 3–10% of the gold value, while handcrafted, temple, antique or filigree work commonly runs 12–25% or more; some jewellers charge a flat amount per gram instead. Ask for the charge in writing and compare shops.
  • 3% GST is charged on the jewellery bill. Ask for a GST invoice that lists net weight, purity, rate per gram, making charges, HUID and tax separately.
  • Ask about buyback and exchange terms before you buy: most jewellers pay the day’s rate for the tested purity minus a deduction.

22 carat gold: FAQ

What is the 22 carat gold rate today per 10 grams?

The cards at the top of this page show Bhavflow’s indicative national 22K (916) rate per gram and per 10 grams, with the time of the last update, and the table shows 1 g, 8 g (one sovereign), 10 g and 100 g. The rate excludes 3% GST and making charges.

How is the price of 22K jewellery calculated?

Net gold weight × the 22K rate per gram, plus the making charge (a percentage of the gold value or a fixed amount per gram), plus any stone charges, plus 3% GST on the total. Ask for each part on the bill; the jewellery price calculator on Bhavflow does the same steps.

22 carat sone ka bhav aaj kya hai?

22 carat sone ka bhav aaj (today’s 22K gold rate) is shown at the top of this page per gram and per 10 grams, at Bhavflow’s national indicative rate excluding GST and making charges. City pages show the same national rate with local buying notes and, where available, a local association board rate.

What does 916 mean on gold jewellery?

916 is the fineness of 22 carat gold: 916 parts of gold per 1,000, or 91.6%. On a BIS hallmark it appears as 22K916, next to the BIS logo and the 6-digit HUID.

Why does a jeweller’s 22K rate differ from 22/24 of the 24K rate?

Bhavflow calculates 22K as exactly 22/24 of its 24K rate. Local associations and jewellers set their own 22K board rates, which can be slightly higher or lower, so compare like with like.

Is 22K jewellery a good way to invest in gold?

Jewellery is bought for wearing. When you sell or exchange it, you usually get the gold value minus a deduction, and the making charges and GST you paid are not returned. Coins and bars (24K) carry much lower charges.

How many grams is one sovereign (pavan)?

Eight grams. In Tamil Nadu and Kerala 22K gold is often quoted per sovereign; the table above shows the 8-gram price.
