What is a Tola? Platinum weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The tola (11.6638 g) is the traditional South Asian unit for gold and remains the standard quote in Indian and Gulf jewellery shops. Locally it is written तोला. One tola equals 11.6638 grams, or 0.37500 troy ounces, which at today's platinum spot price works out to — SGD.
Where it is used. Ten-tola bars ('TT bars', 116.64 g) are the classic Dubai-to-India trade format, and wedding jewellery is still ordered by the tola. The unit is the trading standard in India, Pakistan, Nepal and the Gulf.
Pricing conventions. Indian shops quote a tola rate for 22K (0.916) rather than pure metal, then add making charges of 8–25%. Gulf shops quote 24K per tola or per gram and charge a smaller fixed making fee. Platinum has almost no traditional-unit retail market: it is quoted per ounce or per gram, and this conversion is mainly used for jewellery weighing and industrial stock.
Good to know. The tola was once the weight of a British India silver rupee, which is why the unit is tied so closely to jewellery and savings culture.

Buying Platinum in Singapore: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per tola, the price you see here is the international XPT spot price converted into Singapore Dollar. Physical buyers in Singapore pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Singapore, a bonded storage hub for Asian investors. Buyers there generally watch the LBMA price converted to SGD intraday as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium qualify for the same IPM exemption when they meet the purity standard; jewellery does not. Platinum is a much smaller market driven by autocatalyst and jewellery demand, so local availability is patchier and dealer spreads wider. That is why the shop price of platinum in SGD can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same tola of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Singapore are BullionStar and Silver Bullion, The Safe House and Le Freeport vaults, bank bullion desks and online dealers. The products most often quoted locally include 1 oz coins, 1 kg bars, vault-stored allocated metal, Singapore Merlion coins.
Local conventions. Singapore's IPM scheme and free-trade-zone vaults make it a common jurisdiction for offshore storage of Asian bullion holdings. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per tola with the live platinum price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline SGD quote.
