Bullion Benchmark vs. Retail Jewellery Billing
The federation’s rates establish baseline trading reference rates for raw bullion in Nepal (where 1 tola equals 11.664 grams). Consumers purchasing finished jewellery should note that final retail prices vary across individual shops, as jewelers add custom artisan making charges (ज्याला), wastage loss allowances (जर्ती), and applicable statutory taxes based on ornament design.
