You must follow some precautions
Remember to take some precautions before buying gold. Make sure you only purchase jewellery with the BIS Hallmark. Also, double-check your bill to see that details like gold purity, weight, and making charges are clearly listed. While prices have dipped now, experts are not completely ruling out a future increase.
