Where Should I sell my Gold Coins Purchased From a
Bank in India :
We have already written above that banks do not buy even the gold coins
sold by them. Now in case a holder of such coins needs money, he is
left with no alternative but to approach his jeweler. Usually, in case you
wish to purchase jewellery by surrendering the gold coins, most of the jewelers
will come forward to your rescue and purchase the same. However, in case
you wish to get back cash, jewelers may show reluctance to buy and may give you
cash only at a discounted price.

:
Why You Should Not Buy Gold Coins From Your Bank ?
-
In case you try to compare prices
between your local jeweler and some banks – you might be
shocked. There will be a reasonable high difference
even when both of them guarantee the same purity. (Soon
hallmarking of the jewelery is likely to be made compulsory). However, a number of people feel that this premium charged
by banks is
worth it, because the price will be higher for gold coins
bought from banks when you go to sell the
same. BUT REMEMBER THIS IS NOT TRUE. We leave it to our
readers to decide whether the difference in price is worth
it.
-
You should also remember that
most of banks do not buy back the gold coins (even those
gold coins which have been sold by them). Traditionally,
Indians sell back their gold to the same jeweller as he used to
give the best value at the time of re-sale.
This can also be another reason for buying gold coins from
jewelers.
-
Although, both customers and
non-customers are eligible to buy gold coins from banks, but any
transactions of Rs. 50,000 or more will attract the requirement
of quoting of PAN
News for Gold Coins :
The sharp rise in gold imports made RBI worried. To
check huge gold imports, including gold coins, in June 2012 there
was news that RBI is seriously considering the banning of sale of gold coins by
banks. The reports indicated that India imported 963 tonnes of
gold in 2010 and another 878 tonnes of gold in 2011. A part of these imports was
abetted by banks. Gold coins sales at banks rose 33% in 2011 to 18 tonne as
against 13.5 tonne in 2010. SBI, ICICI, HDFC Bank, Bank of India and
Indian Overseas Bank accounted for 70% of the total gold coins sold in India.
