City Wise Gold Rate in Pakistan Today

Today's gold rate is uniform across Pakistan as set by the Karachi Sarafa Association. Minor city-level variations of Rs 100–500 per tola may occur due to local demand, transportation, and handling charges.

While the Karachi Sarafa Association sets the national benchmark, local factors such as transportation costs, insurance, local dealer margins, and city-level demand can cause slight variation (typically Rs 100–500) between cities like Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Peshawar.

Officially, all cities follow the same rate set by the Karachi Sarafa Market. However, Peshawar and border cities sometimes have marginally competitive rates due to proximity to international trade routes. Always compare live city rates before purchasing.

The base gold rate in Lahore and Karachi is generally the same, as both follow the Karachi Sarafa Association benchmark. Any difference is typically very minor (Rs 100–300) and reflects local dealer pricing, not an official rate change.

Gold rates across all Pakistani cities are updated at least once daily, typically after the morning Sarafa session. During high market volatility, rates may be revised multiple times throughout the day based on international spot price movements and the USD/PKR exchange rate.
