Dubai is a popular destination for Indians to buy gold due to a variety of reasons. Primary among these is that gold is comparatively cheaper in UAE compared to India. For example, the current price in Delhi for 24-carat gold is around Rs 5312 per gram. The price for the same quantity in Dubai is approximately 4,733 Rs.
There is also an added tax benefit to buying gold in Dubai, where purchasing the yellow metal is exempt from taxation. Quality is another alluring factor for buyers. The yellow metal bought from UAE has a reputation for being of comparatively superior quality. Additionally, the gold market in Dubai is more organised, controlled, and better regulated. For many buyers, the wide variety of designs found in Dubai’s jewellery stores is the final influencing factor.
While buying gold from Dubai on a trip there could be profitable, there are a lot of rules and regulations to be kept in mind. For instance, the Indian government levies a hefty import duty on bringing in gold from Dubai on your person. Concerns regarding how safe it is to travel with large amounts of gold in your luggage or on your person are also ever-present.
