MMTC-PAMP gold has become a popular and trusted gifting choice across Kashmir, commonly purchased for weddings, birthdays and other special occasions as a genuine and valuable gift. However, concerns have emerged that some local dealers may be misleading customers by raising a so-called “date issue” around older MMTC-PAMP gold products. In certain cases, customers have reportedly been told that gold with an older manufacturing date will not be accepted, or that a deduction will be made from its value on that basis.
Gold, as a precious metal, does not degrade, corrode or lose purity over time, meaning a manufacturing or minting date printed on a coin or bar has no bearing on its authenticity, value or usability years after purchase. A “date issue” of the kind some customers report being told about has no basis in the properties of the metal itself, and buyers should not accept a lower valuation or a refusal of purchase on these grounds without first verifying the claim independently.
Customers who encounter a dealer citing a “date problem,” an “expiry,” or refusing to accept an older-dated MMTC-PAMP product are strongly advised not to rely solely on the dealer’s word. Before accepting any deduction or making a decision based on such claims, buyers should verify the matter directly with MMTC-PAMP through its official customer care channels.

Consumers across Kashmir are urged to stay alert to this practice, verify any such claims independently with MMTC-PAMP before agreeing to a deduction, and share this advisory to help others avoid being misled during gold purchases or resale transactions.
