Dubai vs India: What the 15% Duty and 3% GST Do to the Price
India raised its import duty on gold to 15% on 13 May 2026, made up of 10% basic customs duty and a 5% Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess, after holding it at 6% since July 2024, and Indian buyers pay 3% GST on gold on top, while the UAE charges 0% import duty on bullion and zero-rates VAT on investment gold of 99% purity or higher. Applied to today's Dubai 24K rate, duty and GST alone lift the cost of 10 grams from INR 134,517 to about INR 159,336, which is the mechanical part of the gap; the market gap reported by Khaleej Times in May 2026 was about 12% by Malabar Gold's estimate and 9 to 10% by the Dubai Jewellery Group's, because Indian domestic prices also carry local premiums and discounts that move day to day.

How Indian Buyers Use the Dubai Rate
Indian residents and the large Indian community in the UAE compare the Dubai rate with home prices in three units: per gram for 24K bars, per 10 grams as quoted in Indian cities, and per pavan of 8 grams in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where bridal purchases are counted in sovereigns, and they buy in the Deira Gold Souk and in Sharjah's resident-focused shops. The Dubai figure wins on the metal because the UAE charges no import duty, but the advantage survives the trip home only within India's duty-free allowance of 40 grams of jewellery for a female passenger and 20 grams for any other passenger after more than one year abroad, and only for jewellery, since bars and coins are always dutiable. The carrying gold from Dubai to India guide sets out the 2026 rules, the declaration procedure, and a duty calculator, and the 22K page prices the jewellery weights Indian buyers ask for.
