The steps
Step by step: how to sell gold at IGoldcash
From checking the rate to instant payment — typically under 30 minutes.
-
1
Check today's gold rate first
Before visiting any buyer, check the current MCX gold rate or call IGoldcash directly. Knowing the market price helps you recognise whether an offer is fair and gives you confidence throughout.
-
2
Collect all your gold items
Gather everything — old jewellery, broken chains, mismatched earrings, coins. Condition does not matter; value is based on metal content, not appearance. Even a single gram is worth bringing in.
-
3
Bring your KYC documents
Under RBI guidelines, any gold purchase transaction above ₹50,000 requires KYC verification — bring your Aadhaar and PAN card. For amounts below ₹50,000, any government-issued photo ID works.
-
4
Purity testing — done in front of you
Your gold is checked using professional purity testing, performed in front of you. Nothing is taken into a back room, and you can ask questions at any point.
-
5
Weighing on a certified digital scale
Once purity is confirmed, your gold is weighed on a certified digital scale — again in front of you, with the reading shown to you directly.
-
6
Written quote — no pressure
You receive a clear written breakdown: weight in grams, purity, the day's market rate, and the final offer. There is no pressure to sell — you are welcome to compare the quote with others before deciding.
-
7
Instant payment
Once you agree, payment is made immediately — by cash or bank transfer (NEFT/IMPS/RTGS) as per RBI guidelines. From walking in to receiving payment typically takes under 30 minutes.
Paperwork
Documents required to sell gold in Dehradun
- Below ₹50,000: any government-issued photo ID — Aadhaar, Voter ID, or Driving Licence.
- Above ₹50,000: Aadhaar card and PAN card, both required under RBI KYC norms.
- Above ₹2 lakh: PAN is mandatory and cash payment is not permitted — payment must be by bank transfer only, under Section 269ST of the Income Tax Act.
Tip: even for smaller amounts, bringing your Aadhaar speeds up the process and avoids delays.

How to avoid being cheated when selling gold
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.
Insist on a written quote
A trustworthy buyer always gives a written breakdown before asking you to sell. If a buyer gives only a verbal quote, ask for it in writing.
Know the market rate
Check MCX gold prices before visiting. A legitimate buyer should offer within 3–7% of the MCX rate after accounting for purity. If an offer is 15% or more below the published MCX rate, walk away.
Do not feel pressured
Legitimate 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.
