Pakistan Bullion Gold Rate (Sarafa Association Rate)
The bullion rate is the wholesale gold price set daily by the Pakistan Sarafa Association / Karachi Sarafa Market. It represents pure, unworked 24K gold before any jewelry-making costs are added. All other karat prices - 22K, 21K, 20K and 18K - are calculated as a percentage of this base bullion rate.

Why Did Gold Prices Move Today?
Gold prices in Pakistan today are being shaped mainly by two forces: the international spot gold price in US dollars, and the current USD to PKR exchange rate. When the dollar strengthens against the rupee, local gold rates tend to rise even if the international dollar-gold price stays flat. Investor sentiment around global interest rates, inflation data, and geopolitical events also feeds directly into the daily rate the Sarafa Association announces each morning and revises through the day as needed.

There is a small difference in gold prices between cities, mainly due to transport cost, local demand, and how far a city is from the main bullion supply chain centered in Karachi. Karachi is treated as the national benchmark city for gold pricing across Pakistan.
Understanding Ratti, Masha and Tola - The Real Cost of Buying Gold Jewelry
In Pakistan, gold is traditionally measured in tola, masha and ratti rather than grams. One ratti equals roughly the weight of 8 average rice grains (about 0.1213 grams). Eight ratti make one masha, and twelve masha make one tola - the largest and most commonly quoted traditional unit.
When buying gold bars, you pay only the pure metal rate with no extra charges. When buying gold jewelry, however, jewelers typically add a labor cost and a 'kat' - a small weight deduction taken in ratti/masha terms when you later resell the piece, meant to account for polish, alloy metal and wear. For example, on 5 tola of jewelry gold, a jeweler may deduct 0.6-0.7 tola worth of value in kat and polish charges before paying you - so always ask for the net melted weight calculation before agreeing to a price.

22K and 21K gold are the most popular choices for jewelry in Pakistan because they strike the right balance between purity and durability - pure 24K gold is too soft for daily-wear jewelry and is typically bought as bars or coins for saving and investment purposes instead.
