Ranchi is the capital of Jharkhand and one of the largest cities in the country. The city is known for its beautiful lakes and waterfalls, as well as its temples and museums. It is also an important centre for the trade and sale of gold. The city is abundant in minerals, which is why the city is also called the "Manchester of the East"
The gold rate in Ranchi keeps fluctuating based on several factors, such as international gold prices, inflation, and government policies. Gold is always in high demand in Ranchi, especially during special occasions and festive seasons.

Check the hallmark on gold in Ranchi before buying it to determine its quality. When purchasing a gold item, you should check for the following:
To determine the purity of gold at home, try these two simple methods:
Gold is available in various purity levels, and the purity is measured in karats (K) in Ranchi.
24-karat gold is 99.9% pure and hence, the purest form of gold available. But it is too soft to be moulded into intricate jewellery designs. Thus, it is ideal for gold coins and bars.
On the other hand, 22-karat gold is 91.6% pure gold mixed with metals like silver, copper and zinc. Adding these metals imparts gold structural strength and makes it more resistant to scratches and dents. Thus, it is more widely used for creating jewellery.
The purity of gold in Ranchi is authenticated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The BIS hallmark is a stamp that certifies that the gold meets purity standards and is of high quality.
Can I buy gold without using my PAN?
Gold is considered a high-value commodity in Ranchi as well as in India. Thus the government has made it mandatory to quote PAN for any transactions above ₹2 lakh. A PAN card is not required if your investment is less than ₹2 lakh.
