3. What causes gold prices in Cooch Behar to differ from nearby cities?

   Mostly local factors - how far gold has to be transported to Cooch Behar, what the local jewellers' body sets as its reference price, and how strong demand is in the area. The underlying national rate stays the same; these are just local adjustments on top of it.

4. Is jewellery in Cooch Behar usually sold as 22K or 24K gold?

   Mostly 22K. Jewellers in Cooch Behar, like elsewhere in West Bengal, alloy gold to 22K purity (91.6%) because pure 24K gold is too soft for detailed work. 24K is reserved for coins, bars, and other investment products.

6. How do I make sure I'm not overpaying or getting cheated when buying gold in Cooch Behar?

7. What's the real cost of buying gold jewellery in Cooch Behar, beyond the quoted rate?

   Add making charges (which vary by design complexity), possibly a wastage charge, 3% GST on the gold value, and 5% GST on making charges to the base rate shown on this page. That combined figure is what you'll actually pay at the counter in Cooch Behar.

8. How much loan can I get against gold in Cooch Behar?

   Lenders in Cooch Behar can offer up to 75% of your gold's current market value as a loan, based on RBI's LTV cap. The exact amount depends on the purity and weight of the gold you pledge, and today's rate.

9. When is the best time to buy gold in Cooch Behar?

   There's no perfect formula, but prices in Cooch Behar have historically eased a bit during the non-festive months, around May-June and August. Demand - and often prices - tends to rise around Akshaya Tritiya, Dhanteras, and the local wedding season.

10. Should I invest in physical gold or something like SGBs from Cooch Behar?

    If you want the gold itself - for jewellery or tradition - physical gold makes sense. If it's purely an investment, Sovereign Gold Bonds or Gold ETFs are usually more efficient for buyers in Cooch Behar, since they skip storage costs and, in the case of SGBs, offer extra interest.
