Malabar Gold New Scheme Launched

This is a chit fund scheme only. As stipulated by RBI, all chit schemes should not have more than 11 months. This is being adopted in all jewellery monthly scheme . You may be a customer or employee of Malabar and it doesn't restrict me to give my views on such schemes. Anyway, you will get back upto 5 lakhs in bank if it is late also. In case of such schemes, you will get nothing and you loose all your hard earned money
It's not the usual kind of chit fund that goes bust . There is a difference.

You know what I love ? Telling a dude who actually has been doing something for more than a decade , that he has no idea of the risks involved or what actually happens in the background. The audacity. Giving your view isn't wrong but saying " I will get nothing and actually lose money" while I've been doing this for a decade + , including my family members, while making considerable profit , is just pure arrogance from your side.

I have practical experience and expertise in this scenario. You have theoretical.

There is risk in everything. That's why folks stick to reputed brands with global reach .

Your views of whether something is good or bad can never supercede a person's actual experience dealing with the scenario .

I literally redeemed a matured scheme yesterday, getting 23 grams of gold at 7250+ average rate , and paid only 6% making charge + gst. It was 3 items, with making charges of 11%, 14% and 20%. Since the scheme wajves till 14% , I paid only 6% extra. This is literally yesterday.

Been doing this for years. Warning someone that there is risk involved is good , agreed. There is risk in everything. But making blanket statements without knowing the reality is wrong.

If you don't want to invest in gold schemes cause you are scared of getting cheated , you have two options :

1. Don't invest. That's it.

2. Use folks like me as example , and invest in the one me or sparkit invests in. You have examples of proven track record which you can use for reference. We don't invest in small time shops. We invest at reputed well established brands that have global reach. Thats how you reduce your risk .

Blindly instead causing fear mongering is not the way to do things.

Better go for Lalitha jewellery
Zero wastage and making charges for 11 months scheme and also same applicable for gold deposit scheme for 11 months.
No limit like upto 18%
I dint like the designs, plus they don't have too much exposure outside south india. Also, Malabar's Golden Glow is perfect for me. For years now. I'm just following the " If something ain't broke, don't fix it " logic thats it. Plus being a regular customer has its perks. Especially one with a seriously long history.

I checked their old gold scheme and it looks good on paper actually. Good suggestion, hopefully it helps someone !

Except Malabar, all are bad for you. Cannot explain to such people. You are also timid by putting dislike for my post using your moderator power. Shame on you I don't know how you became a moderator with such a bias mentality .STOP

Wait I'm a moderator ? Since when ?

I like malabar and I'm comfortable with it. I dint say others are bad. I clearly mentioned why I don't prefer Lalitha , nowhere did I say malabar is better for everyone. It's a personal choice. My last paragraph clearly specifies it's a good scheme and hopefully helps someone else .

It's my choice which jewellery I prefer. Any rule that I need to buy from other jewellers also ?

Malabar have better designs and collections compared to Lalitha. This is what me and few others I knew think. But indeed, it’s a great scheme.

I think you are getting wrong.

If you book with your old jewellery or cash (say 50 grams with today's rate) , the gold weight wont change till the end. After 11 months, you can buy 50 gram gold without making charges upto 18%.
  • Say if you buy normal chains or ornaments with 15% making charge/V.A. Since your scheme covers upto 18% , u dont need pay anyhting extra apart from 3% GST.
  • But if you buy any ornament(Antique, designer etc) that have more than 18% making charges, say 20%. Then you need to pay 2% charges on your 50 gram plus 3% Gst.
  • If you buy an ornament of 56 grams with 20% making charges, You will be billed as below. 50 grams - 2% making charges - 3% gst 6 grams - 20% making charges - 3% gst
Hope this helps
 
Agreed, Adith is not a moderator but a contributor with high level privileges. He is using it to put dislike message anyone who contradicts him
Bruh I'm starting to get pissed off. Do you know or not know that dislike button is there for everyone, you included ? If the dislike button is only for those that paid for ad-free then its something I never knew about.

Contributor means I paid for ad-free version. Nothing else. I hate ads and I wanted to contribute to Technofino, so I paid for it.

Do you assume things even if you have no idea about what you are discussing about ? Were you never taught to just say " I don't know XYZ , can someone explain ? ". Whats with jumping to conclusions on every damn thing ? You are a TF Premier, I feel let down honestly.



Edit : if you want to dislike my comment , press and hold the like button , it will show you available reactions. Dislike will be in the list.

Edit 2 : I must be the first guy to help someone dislike my own comment.

Once you are done disliking the comments please stop arguing. The post discussion is getting diverted.
