Silver (.999 fineness) also declined by Rs 65 to conclude at Rs 43,190 per kg as against Rs 43,255.
Globally, gold held steady after ending the previous week little changed, as traders awaited further clues on the pace of US interest rate rises from a raft of Federal Reserve officials due to speak this week.
Spot gold was at USD 1,235.21 an ounce in early trade, little changed from USD 1,235.22 late on Friday.
