Due to the increase in customs duties on gold and silver, its effect can be seen in the bullion market in the coming days. The chances of the gold price hitting Rs 65000 per 10 grams have now turned strong. At the same time, silver will also rise. This is the estimate of market experts. Explain that in her budget speech, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said customs duties on items made from raw gold and platinum bullion were increased. Previously, this customs tax duty on raw gold and platinum bars was raised.
Kedia says a cut in the gold and silver import duty was expected. But, on the contrary, the customs duty has been increased. The import duty for all products in the bullion sector was increased from 4% to 10% and the Agricultural Infrastructure and Development Tax (AIDC) was increased from 2.5% to 4.35%, bringing the cumulative duty at 14.35%. The result of this move was visible in the form of an increase in gold and silver prices on MCX.
From now on, given that the impact of the commission increase has normalized, we expect future movements of both prices to be based on the updates issued by the FED, the ECB and the BOE in the coming days.
If this proposal is implemented in the budget, the customs duty on gold bars will be 15 percent. Now it is 12.50 percent. At the same time, this tax on silver will increase from 7.50 percent to 15 percent. Kedia Commodities Chairman Ajay Kedia says gold may go as high as 62,000 to 65,000 rupees this year. At the same time, silver is also expected to break records. Silver prices can reach up to Rs 90,000 in the year 2023.
