Gold saving schemes offered by jewellery shops are extremely popular in Kerala, especially for wedding planning and long-term gold purchases. These schemes allow customers to save a fixed amount every month and use the accumulated value to buy gold jewellery at the end of the scheme period.

While gold saving schemes can be beneficial, they also come with specific conditions that every buyer should clearly understand before enrolling. This page explains how jewellery gold saving schemes work, their advantages and disadvantages, and provides a comparison of available schemes from jewellery shops in Kerala.

What Is a Jewellery Gold Saving Scheme?

A jewellery gold saving scheme is a monthly saving plan offered by jewellery shops. Customers pay a fixed amount every month for a specific period—usually 10 to 12 months—and use the total amount to purchase gold jewellery at the end of the scheme.

These schemes are commonly used for:

  • Wedding jewellery purchases
  • Festival shopping
  • Planned gold investment through jewellery

Common Types of Gold Saving Schemes in Kerala

1. Bonus Month Scheme (11+1 or 10+2)

Customers pay for 10 or 11 months, and the jeweller adds one or two months’ value as a bonus at maturity.

Example: Pay ₹2,000 for 11 months → Get ₹24,000 worth of gold.

2. Zero Making Charge Scheme

The jeweller waives making charges on jewellery purchased under the scheme, partially or fully.

3. Fixed Gold Weight Scheme

The gold weight is fixed at the time of joining the scheme. Price fluctuations during the scheme period do not affect the final gold weight.

4. Festival or Wedding Special Schemes

Short-term schemes launched during Onam, Vishu, Akshaya Tritiya, or wedding seasons with specific benefits.
