Gold Price Today in Chandigarh

Today's gold rate in Chandigarh is ₹13,349 per gram for 22K gold and ₹14,563 per gram for 24K gold. Prices are updated daily based on the IBJA (India Bullion and Jewellers Association) rate and include applicable state taxes for Punjab.

Chandigarh's Sector 17 (the city's main shopping district) and Sector 22 host the primary jewellery markets. As a Union Territory, Chandigarh has significantly lower taxes on gold compared to Punjab and Haryana — making it one of the most affordable cities to buy gold in North India.

Chandigarh serves as the shared capital of Punjab and Haryana, both of which have strong gold-buying traditions. Punjabi and Haryanvi weddings are known for abundant gold gifting — a typical Punjabi wedding can involve 10–50 tolas (150–580 grams) of gold. Lohri and Baisakhi are important gold-buying occasions.

Buying tip: Chandigarh's Union Territory status means no state VAT, making its gold prices among the lowest in North India. If you're located in Punjab or Haryana, buying gold in Chandigarh can save ₹50–₹200 per gram compared to buying in your state. Sector 17's organised market also offers better quality assurance.

GST of 3% is applicable on all gold purchases in India. For investment gold (coins, bars), making charges are typically lower than jewellery. Always insist on a BIS hallmark certificate when buying gold in Chandigarh.
