Buy PAX Gold in India at ₹ Loading price...

Yes, PAX Gold (PAXG) is treated as a Virtual Digital Asset under the Income-tax Act, so buying, holding, and selling are allowed, though it is not legal tender. In India it is regulated and taxed as a crypto asset, and platforms serving Indian users must be registered with FIU-IND under anti-money-laundering rules.

To buy PAX Gold for the first time, sign up on CoinDCX, complete KYC with your PAN and Aadhaar, deposit INR through UPI or IMPS, then open the PAXG market and confirm your order.

Add INR to your CoinDCX account by choosing UPI as the payment method, entering the amount, and approving the request in your UPI app. Once the balance reflects, open the PAXG market, enter your INR amount, and confirm.

You do not need to buy a whole PAXG, which is priced like a full ounce of gold and costs a large amount. It supports fractional investing, so a small INR order buys a fraction of a token. The exact per-order minimum is shown on the CoinDCX order screen before you confirm.

Yes. Even though one PAXG costs far more than ₹100, the token is divisible, so ₹100 buys a small fraction of an ounce of gold. Open the app, search for PAX Gold, tap Buy, enter the rupee amount, and confirm at the live rate shown.

PAXG can be bought against the rupee on FIU-IND registered Indian exchanges that list it, so no stablecoin conversion is needed. Judge any venue on three points: FIU-IND registration under the PMLA, a direct INR pair, and published custody practices such as cold storage and Proof of Reserves.

In India it is taxed as a Virtual Digital Asset, not as physical gold or a gold fund. Selling or swapping your tokens triggers a flat 30% tax plus 4% cess on profits, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.2% under the Income-tax Act, 2025. Additionally, a 1% TDS is deducted from the total trade value upon transfer under Section 393(1) of the Act. Crypto losses cannot be set off against other income.

PAXG offers a regulated, audited way to own gold digitally, with fractional ownership and 24/7 trading. Against that, gold’s price can fall as well as rise, you rely on a central issuer and its vaults, there are fees, it earns no interest, and in India it is taxed as crypto.

For every token in circulation, one fine ounce of allocated, accredited gold is held as a specific bar in a professional vault, and independent auditors check this each month. Larger holders can redeem tokens for physical gold bars, subject to a minimum and fees, or for cash, while smaller holders typically sell on the market or redeem for cash rather than taking physical delivery.

Physical gold you store yourself involves making, storing, and insurance costs, while a gold fund is a regulated market product bought through a broker. PAXG is a crypto token backed by vaulted gold that trades around the clock and can be moved like other digital assets, but it depends on its issuer, carries token fees, and in India is taxed as crypto rather than as gold.

CoinDCX is considered one of the leading platforms in India, with FIU-IND registration under the PMLA, ISO/IEC certification, direct INR funding via UPI, IMPS, NEFT and RTGS, and published Proof of Reserves.

Enable app-based two-factor authentication rather than SMS, and use a password you have not reused elsewhere. Never share an OTP, seed phrase, or remote access to your screen. If you withdraw to a personal wallet, check the address carefully and send a small test amount first, because on-chain transfers cannot be reversed.
