Madhu,
Today the Gold closed at US$ 745. We have not seen the bottom for Crude oil yet and hence Gold will also follow crude Oil. May be today's closing prices are reflected in the Gold price tomorrow (if at all stock is there).
Some other options are purchasing Gold bars at Dubai (enroute to India. In Dubai you may get a better deal) or buying laptops worth Rs. 25K from Canada / USA and then selling them for Rs. 45K in India (you can carry one laptop free for each adult) and then using the difference in money to buy the Gold bars in India. FYI, in 2006, I exchanged some south african Gold coins (91.6% pure / 22 carat) and some old Jewellery for new jewelery and the Gold shop took them both at the same rate only and the market rate for a gm. of Gold.
Depending upon your choice of purchasing Gold Bars, please do make a suitable decision.
Hope this helps.
Peace
Thanks TK,
Unfortunately i am not enrouting thru DUBAI (flying by KLM) and dont think and dont know to make money by selling the LAPTOPs :-)
Anyway, finally i purchased both coins and bars for the same flat price of $840 which is equivalent to 1135Rs/gm in india (currnetly they are selling the same price)

Madhu,
you are lucky.
Currently Gold is trading at $832 an ounce up $52 just on the day. The reason is the Yemen bombing and the recent credit losses / company bankruptcy in US (So dollar becomes unattractive and it is used to hedge in Gold, sending the price up).
The upswing maynot hold up for many days.
So you can take a gamble by selling your Gold tomorrow morning and then heading to India and buying Gold from there. Hopefully it will be of less price in India once you reach there by sept. end.
Peace

That is a good idea if i have really 10 to 15 coins...but i bought only 2 coins as per advises from wellwishers assuming that i will touch 720 or 700 mark.
Now if i sell..may be i get 100$ profit...so i will keep it as i am not sure weather it will really touch back the 740 mark again.
anyway's thank you so much for the advise and well wishes.

Can someone recommend any good place to buy gold at (besides Scotiabank) ? - any experienced desi / non desi jewelers ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fido.
if you wanna buy gold only for investment purpose, then why dont you look at on of those Gold ETFs. "GLD" is one such etf I made some money off some time ago.
Cheers

This is for your information and use it at your own risk.
The last known baggage rules that I can fish out of the web site and the Custom tariff says " You are allowed free of customs tariffs a quantity of 10 Kilos" of Gold free together with your baggage. Air lines permit you to carry upto 7 kgs. (Seven) free as hand baggage, on person. Have proper bill of sale and receipts etc., on person when you carry such items with you. {Updated in September 2008.}

Government of India Embassy web site says that you are allowed a maximum of FIVE Kgs of Gold free, on person. I would treat this as the current one and be guided accordingly. Please make sure that you have the bills and invoices for the purchase and if paid by Credit Card, then the receipt to go with it.

P.S. On Friday the 24th, I placed an order for Gold at $700 US per ounce and there were no sellers. The price hit $680 for a brief period and no fills for that order. Everyone is holding their position?! It is finding hard to go above $740 now and is encountering a lot of resistance. That means people are buying as much as they are unloading into the market at that price. (F)
