What is Hallmark Registration

Hallmark registration is a certification process that ensures the purity and authenticity of gold, silver, and other precious metals used in jewellery. It is issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and is mandatory for all jewellers in India. Hallmarking guarantees that the metal used in jewellery meets the required purity standards and protects consumers from fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell old or unhallmarked jewellery without BIS hallmarking?

No, as per BIS regulations, jewellers cannot sell gold or silver jewellery without hallmarking. However, old jewellery owned by customers before hallmarking became mandatory can still be sold, but new pieces must comply with BIS hallmarking rules.

Tip: If you have old unhallmarked jewellery in stock, get it hallmarked before selling.

Do I need a separate hallmark registration for each store or showroom?

Yes, every jeweller must obtain a separate BIS hallmark registration for each branch or showroom. If a jeweller operates multiple stores, each location must apply for registration individually.

Tip: Apply for all locations at once to streamline the registration process.

How can customers verify if a piece of jewellery is hallmarked?

Customers can verify hallmarked jewellery by checking the 6-digit HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification) code engraved on each piece. They can also use the BIS Care App to scan the code and confirm the purity, jeweller details, and BIS registration.

Tip: Always educate customers on how to check for hallmarks before purchasing.

What happens if I sell non-hallmarked jewellery after the BIS deadline?

Selling non-hallmarked jewellery is illegal and can result in:

      • Hefty fines for non-compliance.
      • Cancellation of BIS registration.
      • Seizure of unhallmarked jewellery stock.

Tip: Ensure all gold and silver jewellery is hallmarked before sale to avoid legal issues.

Can imported gold and silver jewellery be sold without hallmarking?

No, imported gold and silver jewellery must also meet BIS hallmarking requirements before being sold in India. Even if the jewellery carries foreign certification, it must undergo hallmarking under BIS norms.

Tip: If you import jewellery, send it to a BIS-authorized hallmarking centre before selling.
