The significance of Karwa Chauth can be understood with the fact that on this day women not only fast the entire day but also pray for the well-being of their partner. While this is their way of letting their husbands know how important they are to them, husbands must also do their bit to express their love and gratitude for all the efforts their wife puts in to take care of them.
Gifting valuables to your partner on karwa chauth is a common practice, so why not thank your better half by giving her something that is rare, valuable and will make her feel financially secured. This festive season, make your wife’s eyes sparkle with Paisabazaar’s Gold Savings Plan – a trusted, smart and affordable way to save in 24K pure gold.
Why Gold Savings Plan?
Most of you must be wondering why you should gift your wife Gold Savings Plan instead of gold jewellery, clothes or any other fancy item. Well, for starters, an ideal gift is the one that adds value to a person’s life and what can serve this purpose better than Gold. Moreover, Indian women love gold. You can gift your wife gold jewellery also but it poses a lot of disadvantages, such as:
- High Cost: Buying gold jewellery that too during festive season might be a little uncomfortable on your pocket due to:
- Increased gold rate: Gold is commonly bought during the festive seasons, therefore, its rates rises during this time.
- High making charges: Gold jewellery includes high making charges, which usually varies from 15% to 22% of the gold rate.
- Lifetime storage costs: Gold jewellery comes with the risk of being lost and stolen. To prevent such situations, people store it in a bank vault, which includes lifetime storage costs in the form of registration fees, etc.
- Storage Hassles: Storing gold jewellery at home does not ensure safety; therefore it is stored in bank vaults. But getting a bank vault isn’t easy. It usually has a long waiting list. If you are lucky to get a vault, you will have to bear expensive storage charges for your entire life.
- Selling Issues: People buy gold jewellery mostly because it is highly liquid, which means that it can be easily sold in the market in exchange for money. But it is easier said than done. To get the fair value of your gold jewellery, you must sell it to the jeweller from whom you had purchased it in the first place. You must also present its purchase receipt as proof of your purchase. Selling gold jewellery to another jeweller or without a receipt will force jeweller to make the required deductions; thus making it an unprofitable exchange.
- Not Value for Money: Gold jewellery costs more than it holds value. This because, the total cost of gold jewellery, includes not only gold rate but also making charges, wastage costs, cost of other amalgamated metals and stones or gems and storage costs. Out of all this only gold has resale value.
Gold Savings Plan overcomes all the above disadvantages. It is that kind of gift that she will cherish for a lifetime. It will help her build wealth consistently and overcome financial tough times at the time of need. There are a lot of other benefits that make Gold Savings Plan better than any other investment option; some of them are listed as follows:
