India says to levy 3% tax on gold under new regime, industry relieved

India will tax gold at a rate of 3% under a new nationwide sales tax that comes into effect on July 1, the government said on Saturday.

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) on gold, which was lower than industry expectations of around 5 percent, will replace a number of federal and state levies.
