Gold Price Today in Patna

Today's gold rate in Patna is ₹13,352 per gram for 22K gold and ₹14,566 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 Bihar.

Patna's Ashok Rajpath (Boring Road area) and the historic Patna City (Khuda Baksh) are major jewellery centres. Bihar's gold market is substantial despite lower per-capita income, as gold remains the primary savings vehicle for rural and semi-urban households.

Bihar has strong gold-gifting traditions at weddings, Chhath Puja, and Makar Sankranti. Maithil, Bhojpuri, and Magahi communities each have distinct traditional jewellery forms. The 'Hansuli' necklace and ornate 'Jhomka' earrings are characteristic Bihari gold jewellery. Chhath Puja season sees significant gold purchases.

Buying tip: Bihar levies moderate state taxes on gold. Gold in rural Bihar is often passed down across generations as both jewellery and bullion — resale typically happens through local jewellers who deduct melting charges. Buying BIS-hallmarked pieces ensures better resale value.

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 Patna.
