Methodology
generated 12:30 IST
Every number on this board is computed, not copied. We pull rates from multiple independent sources — both online and offline — normalise them, cross-check them against each other, reject outliers, and publish only a consensus value that reflects the true market. The dollar–rupee pair is shown as the market rate beside an official reference. When sources disagree beyond tolerance, the last verified value is shown with its own timestamp instead of publishing a guess.
What this site publishes
This board publishes measured reference prices for India — gold and silver in rupees, and the exchange rates behind remittances into the rupee — observed and computed rather than declared. It carries 31 series from 4 registered sources, refreshed every hour.
The headline exchange rate is US Dollar (USD/INR)
How a number is computed
Consensus: normalize, collapse correlated sources into one signal, reject outliers, average, round.
Sources that republish each other are collapsed into ONE signal, not counted separately — a number echoed many times does not become more true. Independent sources are weighed against each other every cycle, and an official reference anchors the dollar–rupee column.
When we do not publish
Guard: implausible jumps and scattered sources are HELD — the last verified value stays, labeled with its own time. No silent guesses.
If a number cannot be computed honestly it is shown as its last verified value with its own timestamp, or it is simply absent. An absent row means we had no number we trusted — never that the price is zero.
Timestamps
Where a source has not published a new value, we carry forward the last value we can stand behind rather than publish one we cannot.
Rates shown as calculated are derived from the dollar–rupee rate and global cross-rates; they are not separately quoted by a dealer. Some currencies (JPY, KRW, LKR, NGN) are displayed per 100 units, and the board says so where it applies.
What this is not
We measure the market; we do not set it. This site does not buy, sell or exchange gold, silver or currency, quotes no price you can trade against, and gives no financial advice. A jeweller's counter price will differ — it adds import duty, GST and making charges on top of the metal, and the board's melt-versus-retail strip shows that decomposition honestly.
