d. The scheme cannot be redeemed against gold coins, wali or bullion in any form or purity. To redeem against gold coins, wali or bullion or any ornament of purity other than the enrolled gold purity, the scheme will be foreclosed and the full amount can be used as a regular advance and the transaction can be done at current prevalent gold rates. The rates booked during the scheme period will be considered null and void.
e. For easy calculations, the net gold weight of the ornament will be split in two parts.
  i. The booked gold weight which will be valued at the effective average rate mentioned below (this will be a weighted average)
  ii. The additional gold weight which will be valued at the prevalent gold rate on the day of redemption as published by the Company
f. At the time of redemption, the effective average gold rate at which the customer booked their total installments will be considered for the corresponding booked gold weight.
g. The effective average gold rate will be calculated as follows:
Effective Average Rate = Total Amount Paid / Total Gold Weight Booked (in grams)
h. For any additional quantity of gold the customer wishes to purchase over and above the booked weight, the prevailing rate for the enrolled gold purity on the day of redemption will apply.
i. In case of stone -studded ornaments, the prevalent stone rate on the day of redemption will apply.There will not be any rate booking for any gemstones or diamonds.
j. Making charges will also be calculated on the total gold weight of the ornament but in 2 parts.
  i. Making charges on the booked gold weight will be calculated as per the effective average booked rate and with the discount of 40% on this amount.
  ii. Making charges on the additional gold weight will be calculated at full charges and on the prevalent gold rate as on the day of redemption.
k. GST of 3% will apply on the total ornament amount i.e. 3% X (Total Metal Value + Total Stone Value + Total Making Charges)
l. Example:
  1. If a customer has paid ₹1,00,000 over 10 months for 22KT, and has booked 11g of 22KT gold, the average rate = ₹1,00,000 ÷ 11g = ₹9,090.65/g.
  2. If the customer wants an ornament of 16g, and the current rate is 10000/g then the gold value will be:
    a. 11g at ₹9,090.65/g, and
    b. 5g at the current 22KT gold rate on the day of redemption.
  3. Suppose the making charges for the ornament are to be calculated as 22% of gold value then
    a. Making charges on the booked 11g will be calculated as 22% X 11g X 9090.65/g = Rs.22000
    b. A discount of 40% will apply on this amount. i.e. a discount of Rs.8,800/-
    c. Net making Charges on the booked gold weight = Rs.13200/-
    d. Making charges on the additional 5g gold weight will be calculated as 22% X 5g X current 22KT rate.
      E.g. if current rate is 10400/g then making charges = 22% X 5 X 10400 = Rs. 11440/-
    e. Total Making Charges = 13200+11440 = 24640
    f. Without rate booking, the making charges at current rate would have been 16g X 10400 X 22% = 36608
    g. Total Savings on making Charges = 36608-24640 = 11968
  4. Stone value will be calculated as per current stone rates
  5. GST = 3% X (Total Gold Value + Total Stone Value + Total Making Charges)
  6. Customer saves (10400-9090.65) X 11 = Rs.14,403/- on gold value plus Rs.11968/- on Making Charges..i.e. Total savings of Rs.26,372/-
