Where to Buy Gold in Bahawalpur
Bahawalpur’s jewellery trade grew around the walled old city of the former princely state, ruled by the Abbasi Nawabs until 1955. Today buyers can choose between traditional bazaars and modern showrooms:
| Area | What you will find |
|---|---|
| Shahi Bazaar and the old city | Long-established jewellers, gold artisans and karat-testing shops; good for traditional and bridal designs |
| Farid Gate and Circular Road | Busy commercial streets around the old city gates with many jewellery shops |
| Satellite Town and Model Town | Newer showrooms with machine-made and lighter designs; billing usually in grams |
Shop names and charges change over time, so visit at least two jewellers and ask for the gold rate and the making charge as separate figures.
Cholistani Silver Jewellery and Today’s Silver Rate
South of the city lies the Cholistan Desert, known locally as Rohi, where families have long worn heavy silver ornaments such as necklaces, wide bangles and anklets. Silver remains popular in Bahawalpur for these traditional pieces and as an affordable gift, so its price matters here as much as gold’s.
| Silver (999) | Price today |
|---|---|
| Per tola | Rs6,207 |
| Per 10 grams | Rs5,321 |
| Per gram | Rs532 |
| 10 tola | Rs62,070 |
Silver jewellery is usually below 999 purity and carries its own making charge. For trends, see silver price in Pakistan.
Gulf Gold vs the Bahawalpur Rate
Many families in Bahawalpur division have relatives working in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, who often bring jewellery home. Converted to rupees per tola, today’s 24K rates compare like this:
| Market | 24K per tola in PKR | Compared with 22 October 2026 Sarafa rate |
|---|---|---|
| Bahawalpur (Sarafa) | Rs434,536 | – |

| Saudi Arabia | Rs430,409 | Rs4,127 less |
| Qatar | Rs444,721 | Rs10,185 more |
Gulf jewellery is mostly 21K and attracts VAT and making charges abroad. Pakistani customs rules limit how much gold a passenger can bring, so check the allowance before travelling. Country rates: Saudi Arabia and Dubai.
Selling or Exchanging Gold in Bahawalpur
When you sell jewellery in Bahawalpur, the jeweller values it at the day’s rate for its karat and then deducts kat, traditionally 1 ratti per masha (12.5%), for solder, alloy and wear. 24K bars from a recognised dealer are usually bought back without kat.
| You sell | Gold value today | Kat (12.5%) | Cash you receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tola of 22K | Rs398,325 | − Rs49,791 | Rs348,534 |
| 1 tola of 21K | Rs380,219 | − Rs47,527 | Rs332,692 |
| 3 tola of 22K | Rs1,194,974 | − Rs149,372 | Rs1,045,602 |
| 1 tola 24K bar | Rs434,536 | Usually none | Rs434,536 |
Exchanging old jewellery for a new set is common before weddings in Bahawalpur. Ask whether the shop applies a lower kat on exchange than on a cash sale, and have the karat tested first. More on the deduction: what is kat in gold.
