Under the Income Tax Rules of the Government of India, a limit (Gold Storage Limit in India) has been fixed for keeping gold at home. According to this, this limit is different for women and men. According to the rules of CBDT (Central Board of Direct Taxes), you can keep only a certain amount of gold at home. If you keep more gold than this fixed limit at home, then you will have to provide proof of it. You should have receipts related to the purchase of gold etc.

Is there a tax on inherited gold?

If you have bought gold from declared income or tax-free income or you have inherited gold legally, then you will not have to pay any tax on it. According to the rules, gold jewelry found within the prescribed limit will not be confiscated by the government, but if the gold is more than the prescribed limit, you will have to show the receipt.
