Profit on an app sells as easily as it accrued, and that is where the tax office enters the chat. The tax on selling digital gold follows the capital gains framework in 2026, and the whole structure balances on one number: 24 months. Sell within it and the gain is short-term, taxed at your slab. Hold past it and the gain is long-term, taxed at a flat 12.5% with no indexation. Around that line sit the details that trip people up, the GST already paid at purchase, the lot-by-lot computation for SIP-style buyers, the physical-conversion question, and the reporting that platforms will not do for you. This guide works through all of it, with the reminder that the tax rules treat app gold like metal even though, unlike the jewellery a lender such as IIFL Finance accepts, it can never back a loan.

One fuels the world and the other calms it, yet their price charts keep glancing at each other. The oil and gold correlation is one of commodity markets' oldest observed relationships: the two often rise together, sometimes for years, then part company without notice. The link is real but indirect, running through inflation, the dollar and investor nerves rather than through any direct use of one in the other. For Indian buyers the connection carries an extra, homegrown twist, since oil and gold sit at the top of the national import bill and squeeze the same rupee. This guide unpacks how the relationship works, the gold-to-oil ratio traders watch, when the link breaks, and why a household planning around gold, including gold pledged with a lender such as IIFL Finance, benefits from watching the oil page too.

Somewhere between the counter and the rumour mill, buyers picked up the idea that gold now demands Aadhaar at the door. It does not. The question of whether Aadhaar required for gold purchases is settled by one threshold: below ₹2 lakh, no identity document of any kind is needed, and above it, identity is mandatory, with Aadhaar serving as one acceptable answer alongside PAN and the Form 97 declaration. Around that single rule sit the companions worth knowing, the cash ceiling, the jeweller's duties, the hallmark check that protects the buyer rather than the state, and the separate, light KYC when gold is pledged with a lender such as IIFL Finance. This guide walks the full compliance picture in plain terms.

One number decides whether a gold purchase is paperless or not, and at 2026 prices that number arrives faster than buyers expect. The PAN card limit for gold purchases sits at ₹2 lakh: cross it in a single transaction and quoting PAN becomes mandatory, whatever the payment method; stay under it and the purchase needs no identity paperwork at all. With gold around ₹1.45 lakh per 10 grams of 24K in early July 2026, the threshold covers barely 13 to 14 grams, a single substantial bangle. This guide works the threshold in detail: how it applies with examples, how much gold fits under it, the separate cash ceiling at the same figure, the Aadhaar alternative, and the quick-reference table, plus what the same documents do at loan time with a lender such as IIFL Finance.
