Selling gold for the first time can feel overwhelming. You want the best price, but you also want to make sure the process is honest and the testing is accurate. This guide walks you through exactly how to sell gold in Dehradun — step by step — so you leave with the best possible price and complete peace of mind.
Step-by-Step: How to Sell Gold at IGoldcash
Check Today's Gold Rate First
Before visiting any gold buyer, check the current MCX gold rate or call IGoldcash directly at +91 82793 03844. Knowing the market price helps you recognise whether any offer is fair and gives you confidence throughout the process.
Collect All Your Gold Items
Gather everything — old jewellery, broken chains, mismatched earrings, coins. Condition does not matter. Gold value is based on metal content, not appearance. Even a single gram is worth bringing in.
Bring Your KYC Documents
As per RBI guidelines, any gold purchase transaction above ₹50,000 requires KYC verification. Bring your Aadhaar Card and PAN Card. For amounts below ₹50,000, any government-issued photo ID works.
Purity Testing — Done in Front of You
At IGoldcash, your gold is tested using a combination of the acid test and density test — both performed right in front of you. Using two methods together gives a more reliable purity reading. Nothing is taken into a back room. You watch the entire process and can ask questions at any point.
Weighing on a Certified Digital Scale
After purity is confirmed, your gold is weighed on a certified digital scale — again, right in front of you. The reading is shown to you directly.
Written Quote — No Pressure
You receive a clear written breakdown: weight in grams, purity, day's market rate, and the final offer. There is no pressure to sell. You are welcome to compare our quote with others before deciding.
Instant Payment
Once you agree, payment is made immediately — by cash or bank transfer (NEFT/IMPS/RTGS) as per RBI guidelines. The entire process from walking in to receiving payment typically takes under 30 minutes.
Documents Required
For transactions below ₹50,000: Any government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, Driving Licence).
For transactions above ₹50,000: Aadhaar Card + PAN Card (both required as per RBI KYC norms).
For transactions above ₹2 lakh: PAN Card is mandatory and cash payment is not permitted — payment must be by bank transfer only.
How to Avoid Being Cheated When Selling Gold
1. Watch the Testing Process
Never hand your gold to a buyer who takes it away for testing. The entire purity assessment should happen in front of you. At IGoldcash this is standard practice — you observe everything.
2. Insist on a Written Quote
A trustworthy buyer always gives you a written breakdown before asking you to sell. If a buyer gives only a verbal quote, ask for it in writing.
3. Know the Market Rate
Check MCX gold prices before visiting. If an offer seems significantly below market rate without clear explanation, ask why. A transparent buyer will always explain how they arrived at the number.
4. Do Not Feel Pressured
Legitimate gold buyers do not pressure you to decide immediately. At IGoldcash you are always free to take the written quote and think it over or compare elsewhere.
