Gold Bangles are perhaps the most ubiquitous and essential piece of jewellery in an Indian woman's collection. Worn daily or stacked extravagantly for weddings and festivals, they range from simple, elegant bands to broad, intricately carved Kadas. Their designs can be plain, machine-cut for a diamond-like sparkle, or studded with precious stones.
Regardless of the design's complexity or emotional value, when you decide to sell your gold bangles, their cash value is determined by two key factors: net gold weight and purity. At Sendra Gold Company, our advanced German XRF spectrometers provide a precise, transparent valuation, ensuring you receive the highest market price for your assets.

Sell Gold Now Check Gold ValueResale Value & Worked Example
To calculate the resale value of a pair of 40-gram plain 22K bangles: 40g × 0.916 (purity) × ₹15,250 (24K rate) = ₹5,58,808.
If your bangles are filled with lac (wax) or studded with stones, these materials will be removed to determine the net gold weight. We only pay for the gold. For high-value Kadas or bridal sets, remember to bring your PAN card for transactions exceeding ₹2,00,000.
Tax Implications
When selling gold, if you've held it for more than 24 months, a 12.5% Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax applies to the profit. If held for less than 24 months, the gain is added to your income and taxed at your slab rate. Aadhaar is always required for the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a 40-gram pair of gold bangles worth today?
A 40g pair of 22K bangles is worth approximately ₹5,58,600 based on current rates. The final value depends on the precise purity and net weight determined at our branch.
What is a Kada?
A Kada is a type of thick, heavy, and often rigid bangle, worn as a single statement piece or in a pair. It is a prominent part of Indian bridal and traditional jewellery.
My bangles are filled with lac. How are they valued?
The lac (a type of wax used for support in hollow bangles) is not gold and its weight is not included in the final valuation. Our experts will carefully remove the lac to assess the net gold weight and determine the price, ensuring you get a fair value for the actual gold content.
Can I sell a single bangle or a broken one?
Yes, absolutely. We buy gold in any form. Whether you have a single bangle, a pair, or even broken pieces, the value is based on the net gold weight and purity, not the item's condition.
What documents do I need to bring?
You will need to provide your Aadhaar card for identity verification. If the total sale value is over ₹2,00,000, a PAN card is also mandatory as per government regulations.
