Why buying gold is important on Akshaya Tritiya
Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar. It is considered ideal for buying gold, investing in assets, and starting new ventures without consulting a ‘muhurat’ (auspicious timing).
Buying gold on Akshaya Tritiya is believed to bring good fortune, prosperity, and continuous growth. Traditionally, families purchase gold coins, bars, or jewellery. In recent years, banks and fintech platforms have introduced digital gold, gold savings plans, and gold-backed mutual funds to tap into this sentiment.

GST (Goods and Services Tax) is charged at a flat rate of 3%.
Hallmarking charges are Rs 45 per article. The hallmarking is essential for certified purity.
