Dubai rates change several times a day, so check the latest figure before you buy. These are base rates per gram; jewellers in Dubai add making charges, and the UAE charges 5% VAT on jewellery. Investment gold of more than 99% purity is zero-rated for VAT. For the day’s Indian prices, see our gold rate today page, which uses IBJA rates.

How to convert the Dubai gold rate into rupees

  1. Note the AED per gram rate for your purity, with the time it was published.
  2. Find the latest AED to INR reference rate on the exchange rates today page or the RBI’s reference rate archive.
  3. Multiply the two: AED 519.50 × ₹26.1220 = ₹13,570 per gram.
  4. Add making charges and 5% UAE VAT to the AED price if you are pricing jewellery.
  5. If you will pay by card, use your card’s own rate and markup, which will be higher than the reference rate.

Dubai vs India gold rate

Using the two most recent published figures, 24K gold cost ₹15,236 a gram in India (IBJA, 16 September) against about ₹13,570 in Dubai (17 September). That is ₹1,666 a gram, or about 12%, more in India. For 22K the gap was ₹1,392 a gram, about 11%.

Most of the gap is import duty. India doubled basic customs duty on gold from 5% to 10% from 13 May 2026, and with the agriculture cess, reports put the total import duty at 15%. India also charges 3% GST on gold, which is not in the IBJA rate.

The comparison is only a guide. The two rates are from different days and use different benchmarks, and neither includes making charges.

Bringing gold from Dubai to India

The Baggage Rules, 2026 replaced the 2016 rules from 2 February 2026. The main points for gold are:

ItemDetails
Jewellery allowance.A resident or tourist of Indian origin who has lived abroad for more than one year can bring jewellery duty free up to 40 grams (female passenger) or 20 grams (other passengers). The old rupee value caps no longer apply.
General allowance.Other goods up to ₹75,000 are duty free for residents and tourists of Indian origin arriving by air or sea. Gold or silver in any form other than ornaments is excluded from this allowance.
Gold bars and coins.Eligible passengers can bring gold on payment of duty, subject to the conditions in Notification 45/2025-Customs, as amended.
Declaration.Dutiable goods must be declared electronically before you use the green channel. Customs’ Atithi 2.0 app allows filing up to three days before arrival.
Personal jewellery.Used jewellery you wear as part of daily life is treated as personal effects. For valuable pieces you take out of India, get an export certificate before you leave so you can bring them back duty free.

UAE rules require travellers to disclose cash and precious metals worth more than AED 60,000. For money matters on the trip, see our guide to currency exchange in Dubai.
