India (NRIs included) goes crazy about gold jewellery. With the World Gold Council (WGC) aggressively marketing social and religious functions as gold buying events, the demand has shot up in the recent years to record levels.

Research shows that over 16,000 tons of gold is there in Indian households predominantly in the form of jewellery. The value of this as per market price is a whooping Rs.27.2 lakh crores (US$591 billion).

That is close to twice the foreign exchange reserves held by the RBI. Let's consider the factors one needs to be aware of and the know how of investing in gold.
