Jewellers are dusting off&nbsp; their counters to gear for what is traditionally the strongest 3 months of sale in the year.&nbsp;As gold prices hover around 6 months of Rs Indians rushed to buy more. Prices are down over Rs 8,000&nbsp; from record high of Rs 56,000 last year.&nbsp;India's gold imports in September soared 658% from last year's low base.

One of India's largest jewellery chains Kalyan&nbsp;Jewellers is offering up to 25 per cent cashback on their jewellery purchases and also a book your rate scheme for gold prices. Many jewellery stores in south are also offering gold at your doorstep with delivery and even pick up EMI&nbsp;from home to ensure glitter is added to their sales numbers this year.&nbsp;\r\nThe love for gold is evident as&nbsp;Jewelers are being further encouraged that sales volumes will rise due to a 17% decline in gold prices in the local markets since their record high last August, as the precious metal&rsquo;s safe-haven value wanes amid a global economic recovery from the pandemic."
