myDigiGold buys international grade bullion from Bullion suppliers and sells this to consumers. When customers sell gold back to us, we sell it back to bullion dealers in the wholesale bullion market, where the buyback rate is different than the selling rate – buy-sell rate.

In addition to the buy-sell rate in the commercial bullion market, GST is added to the buy price, but it is not levied on any sell transactions. Further, there are charges incurred on the payment gateway, insurance and custodian fees which also contribute to the difference in buy and sell price.

There is no benchmark for comparing the price of myDigiGold. MCX cannot be considered as a benchmark, since there are many differences between myDigiGold and MCX. MCX gives the price of future contracts which doesn’t give the landed price by factoring in cost of logistics, insurance, safekeeping, etc. MCX also does not include pan India delivery, and based on the contract it gives delivery at only a few locations like Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Delhi, etc. myDigiGold gives delivery across the country, and includes the cost of storage, insurance, trustee fees and gives you the landed, complete price of Gold. Also, the gold price quoted in newspapers and on various websites is the wholesale price in multiples of 1kg of gold. myDigiGold price is valid for fractional grams and therefore is not directly comparable and the rates are also exclusive of GST.
