The report gives a snapshot of bullion rates on a single day, with Delhi as the only outlier. Buyers face a uniform national price for silver, but gold shows a narrow city-level variation. The source leaves open how much making charges and local taxes add to the final jewellery price, which is the figure that actually determines a consumer's outlay. Those shopping on Diwali must confirm the final bill with their jeweller.
