Gold Rate Today (31 March 2026): Latest IBJA Benchmark And Tanishq, Kalyan, Malabar, Joyalukkas Rates

Gold prices remained in focus on Tuesday, 31 March 2026, as the month closed with continued volatility in the bullion market amid global uncertainty and safe-haven demand. Retail jewellery buyers and investors are closely tracking the latest rates at major jewellers such as Tanishq, Kalyan Jewellers, Malabar Gold & Diamonds and Joyalukkas, along with benchmark prices issued by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd (IBJA).

For consumers planning to buy jewellery today, it is important to note that retailer prices can differ from IBJA benchmark rates because jewellery prices also depend on brand premiums, design, wastage, making charges and GST. Below are the latest available gold rates for 31 March 2026, with a focus only on gold prices.

IBJA gold rates today (31 March 2026)

According to the latest available rates from the India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd (IBJA), the benchmark gold prices are as follows:

• Fine Gold (999): Rs 14,751 per gram
• 22 KT Gold: Rs 13,522 per gram
• 20 KT Gold: Rs 12,293 per gram
• 18 KT Gold: Rs 11,063 per gram

Gold rates at major jewellery retailers (31 March 2026)

22K gold price at leading jewellery brands (per gram):

• Tanishq: Rs 13,630 per gram
• Kalyan Jewellers: Rs 13,685 per gram
• Malabar Gold & Diamonds: Rs 13,685 per gram
• Joyalukkas: Rs 13,685 per gram

These are the latest available 22-carat gold jewellery rates at major retail brands in key cities such as Bengaluru, Mumbai and Chennai.

What buyers should keep in mind

The IBJA rates are considered benchmark bullion rates and do not include additional costs that apply when purchasing jewellery from retailers. Final jewellery prices at stores will usually be higher because of:

• 3% GST
• Making charges
• Wastage charges
• Design and brand premium

As a result, even if the benchmark bullion rate is lower or higher, the final price you pay at a jewellery store may vary depending on the brand and ornament type.

Gold remains in focus at month-end

Gold has continued to attract attention at the end of March as investors remain cautious amid global geopolitical tensions and movement in international bullion markets. In India, this has kept retail gold prices elevated, with 22K gold at major jewellers hovering in the Rs 13,600-Rs 13,700 per gram range.

For buyers, today's gold market offers a clear snapshot of both branded retail jewellery rates and the IBJA benchmark, helping them make a more informed purchase decision before heading to the store.
