NEW DELHI: The government on Wednesday gathered compulsory hallmarking of gold jewelry to make sure consumers become ensured quality.
The start of compulsory hallmarking was created in 256 districts.
For now, little jewellers with yearly turnover of below Rs 40 lakh are exempted from the need.
At present, only 30 percent of gold jewelry in India is hallmarked.
The strategy has been used from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to make certain that customers don’t confront quality problems.
The districts covered in the initial stage will possess BIS-recognised assaying and hallmarking centres for gold jewelry and artefacts which will certify whether a item is 14, 18 or 22 carats.
Carat steps the purity of gold.
