Aizawl is the capital of Mizoram. It is the state's largest city, with a population of 2,93,416. Gold has consistently been the commodity of choice for investors in the city because of its price and value as a traditional investment. Gold is recognised as a hedging tool against deflation, inflation, and the declining rupee value. When there is political unrest and an economic downturn, the value of gold rises.
Anyone who purchases gold items is required to pay the Goods and Services Tax (GST). The tax brackets were released on June 3rd, 2017, and gold purchases are subject to 3% GST. In addition, there is a 5% GST on making charges (the costs associated with creating gold jewellery from raw gold).
Three types of import duties are applicable on gold imports to India - Custom Duty (12.5%), Agriculture and Infra Tax (2.5%), and Social Welfare Surcharge (10% of Custom Duty). Total import duty (excluding GST) is therefore around 15% (12.5 +2.5) + a minimal Social Welfare Surcharge of 10% of Custom Duty (not the gold price).
