GST is 3% of the whole piece: gold, making charges and stones. Lines are rounded to the rupee.

How the bill adds up

Gold value is the weight in grams times today's rate per gram for the purity. Making charges come as wastage (VA), a percentage of the gold value; as an amount per gram; as a flat amount; or as a mix. Tamil Nadu and Kerala bills often show VA and a per-gram charge together. Stones are added at their price, and GST is 3% of the whole piece. Each line is rounded to the rupee.

For example, 10 g of 22K at today's estimated ₹13,538/g is ₹1,35,380 of gold. A 12% VA adds ₹16,246, GST adds ₹4,549, and the bill comes to ₹1,56,175.
