Who publishes The Indian Premium and how its figures are read

The Indian Premium is an independent editorial desk. This page states what it measures, how that measurement is taken, where responsibility sits, and how the site is funded.

What the desk is

The Indian Premium is an independent editorial desk. It is not a broker, not an exchange, and not a licensed adviser. It holds no client money and offers no account of its own. The desk publishes one measurement on this site: the domestic rate for gold as set by the relevant association, and the international price converted to rupees per gram. These figures are taken from named public sources and republished with the date and the hour they were read. The desk does not estimate prices, does not adjust them for any reader's purpose, and does not print a rate that it has not seen on a source named under the table.

How the measurement is taken

The domestic rate is the association's own published figure. The international price is taken from two independent sources, then converted to rupees a gram using the rupee-dollar exchange rate available at the same hour. The sources are named under every table, with a link, so a reader can check the figure at its publisher. The hour of reading is shown because these numbers move during the day and a figure without its time is not a measurement but a memory. The desk reads the sources on a schedule and republishes what it reads; it does not smooth, average, or improve the numbers.

The desk answers for every figure

Responsibility for what appears on this site sits with The Indian Premium editorial desk. The desk is a group function, not a named individual, and it answers for every figure, every source link, and every correction. When a reader writes to [email protected], the message reaches the desk. Corrections are the reason that address exists. If a figure is wrong, the desk corrects it and dates the correction on the page. A reader who spots a figure that does not match its named source should write; a reader who disagrees with a price is not reporting an error, and the desk will not change a measurement because it is inconvenient.

Affiliate link disclosure

The site links to one broker, FxPro, through an affiliate link. If a reader follows that link and opens an account there, this site is paid a commission by the broker. The reader pays nothing to this site and nothing extra at the broker. This is the only payment the desk receives from its publication. The broker's own site is operated by someone else, under its own terms and its own privacy policy, and following the link leaves this site. Nothing on this site is investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer; the figures describe what things cost, not what a reader should do.
