22K gold in Dubai explained for India buyers
Gold prices in the UAE are set centrally by the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group, which publishes a twice-daily fix based on the London spot price converted at the pegged AED/USD rate of 3.6725. The same base rate applies to every licensed retailer across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah — only the making charges differ from shop to shop. This page converts that live rate into Indian Rupees using the current AED to INR exchange rate.
In the UAE, investment-grade gold of 99% purity or higher (24K bars and coins) is zero-rated for VAT, and only the making charge on jewelry is subject to 5% VAT — the underlying gold value is not. This tax treatment, combined with zero import duty and highly competitive making charges at the Dubai Gold Souk, is why many India buyers and expats travel to the UAE specifically for gold purchases.
The tola (11.664 grams) is the traditional South Asian weight unit for gold and is the dominant quoting unit used by India buyers at the Dubai Gold Souk. The conversion table on this page highlights tola weights as the primary row.
Remember: the rate shown on this page is the base gold value. A finished piece of jewelry will cost the base value plus a per-gram making charge (مصنعية) — typically AED 10–80 per gram for machine-made pieces and much higher for handmade or designer work. Ask the shop to itemize the making charge before you buy so you can compare honestly across retailers.

Yes. India adds approximately 15% basic customs duty plus 3% GST to imported gold, while the UAE has zero import duty and zero-rated VAT on investment-grade bullion. Even after making charges and travel costs, buying gold in Dubai can be meaningfully cheaper than buying the same purity in India.
Indian residents returning after 6+ months abroad can bring up to 20g (men) or 40g (women) of gold jewelry duty-free, subject to value limits. Non-resident tourists have lower allowances — INR 50,000 for men and INR 1,00,000 for women in jewelry. Gold bars and coins are always dutiable. Declare anything above the personal allowance at the red channel.
Two inputs drive the number: the live UAE gold rate (published every few hours by the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group) and the AED to INR exchange rate. Because the AED is pegged to the US Dollar at 3.6725, INR movement against the USD is what drives most of the intraday variation.
For weddings, many Indian families do buy gold in Dubai because the base rate is lower, making charges at the Dubai Gold Souk are competitive, and 22K is the dominant purity for traditional bridal jewelry. The savings depend on the weight, the making charge at the shop, and the customs treatment on the way back.
Yes. 22K is 916 fineness (91.6% pure gold) worldwide. A piece stamped 916 in Dubai has identical gold content to a 916-stamped piece in Mumbai or Delhi. Only the base price and making charges differ.
