Tariff Values for Gold Reduced

THE Central Government has reduced the Tariff Value (USD) of gold from the earlier existing 466 per 10 grams to 440 per 10 grams. The tariff values of various Palm oils, Palmolein, Soyabean oil, Brass Scrap, Poppy seeds and Silver remain stationary.

With this reduction & the ongoing marriage season, buyers and traders would continue to remain happy. It is reported that the Finance Minister has appealed to the people to contain their passion for gold.

Since the common man cannot lay his hands on the black gold coal, it seems he is trying to remain content with actual gold.

The rates as on 15.05.2013 and 21.05.2013 are as under:
