BIS Hallmarking

BIS hallmarking is mandatory for gold jewellery sold in India (since June 2021). Jewellers must be registered with BIS, and jewellery must bear the HUID-based BIS hallmark.

What is BIS hallmarking?

BIS hallmarking certifies the purity of gold and silver jewellery in accordance with Indian Standards IS 1417 (gold) and IS 2112 (silver). The hallmark includes a BIS logo, purity grade (e.g., 916 for 22 karat), assay centre mark, and a unique HUID (Hallmark Unique ID) traceable via the BIS Care app.

From June 2021, gold jewellery sold in India must be hallmarked. Jewellers selling non-hallmarked gold jewellery are liable to penalties and seizure under the BIS Act 2016.
