Buying gold or silver on Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akti, has long been associated with good luck, prosperity, and success. Expect a surge in jewellery and coins sale as Akshaya Tritiya falls on April 22 this year. During this period many people prefer to purchase gold or silver online as it is convenient, reliable, and hassle-free. Besides seeking the best possible deal, there are several other factors to bear in mind before making purchases on this auspicious day. Read on.
1) Verify the purity of gold
Gold purity is an important factor to consider when buying gold online. The purity of gold is measured in Karats, and 24 Karat gold is considered the purest form of gold. Some sellers may offer gold with lower Karat values, which means it has impurities. Ensure that the seller provides a certificate of purity which proves the authenticity of the gold.
2) Look for hallmark certification
Hallmark certification is a mark of purity and quality. It is issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and indicates that the gold meets the quality standards set by the government. Ensure that the gold you purchase online has a hallmark certification to avoid getting duped. You can also check this yourself by observing three symbols on the gold—the BIS logo, a purity grade symbol and 6-digit code which is known as Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) number.
3) Check the seller's return policy
Make sure to read and understand the seller's return policy before making a purchase. This will help you to return or exchange the product in case you are not satisfied with it or if there is any damage during transit. Also, check for the seller's warranty or guarantee policy.
4) Avoid buying from unknown websites
Stick to well-known websites, brands and sellers that have a good reputation. Avoid buying from fly-by-night operators. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
5) Compare prices, offers and deals
Compare the prices of gold and silver coins, bars or jewellery across different online platforms to get the best deal. Look for special offers, deals and cashback offered by online sellers during the Akshaya Tritiya festival.
