Gold Savings Schemes From Jewellers: Are You Really Getting One Month Of Gold For Free?

What's behind this

Indians are holding onto gold in their lockers, hoping for a better price, which contributes to an expected drop in domestic gold demand to a six‑year low of about 650 tonnes in 2026, according to the World Gold Council. Meanwhile, central banks bought 321 tonnes of gold in the third quarter of 2026, lifting total global demand for the year to 675 tonnes, a 6 percent year‑on‑year increase.
