Silver also dropped on lack of demand from industrial users.
Standard gold (99.5 per cent purity) declined by Rs 75 to close at Rs 30,670 per 10 grams from Monday's closing level of Rs 30,745.
Pure gold (99.9 per cent purity) also fell by the same amount to close at Rs 30,820 per 10 grams compared to Rs 30,895 earlier.

Globally, gold prices were little changed as investor focus shifted to bullish global economic fundamentals and away from trade concerns, helping lift equities and keeping the dollar steady near a six-month high.
Spot gold was flat at USD 1,292.23 per ounce at early trade.
In other precious markets, silver stood at USD 16.39 an ounce.
