Due to geopolitical tensions, inflation concerns, and other factors, gold prices have been rising over the past few months.
If you are planning to buy gold amid the recent drop in the yellow metal prices, be sure to choose hallmarked jewellery. Hallmarking provides third-party assurance and ensures that you receive the correct purity of gold or silver for the price paid, offering true value for money. In India, both gold and silver are currently subject to mandatory hallmarking.

Important FAQs to note, according to the website of the Bureau of Indian Standards
What is Hallmarking?
Hallmarking is the accurate determination and official recording of the proportionate content of precious metal in precious metal articles. Hallmarks are, thus, official marks used in India as a guarantee of the purity or fineness of precious metal articles.
What is HUID in the hallmarked gold jewellery?
HUID is a Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) number, and it is one of the components of a hallmark. It is a six-digit alphanumeric number which is unique for each hallmarked item and is traceable. Customers can also verify the HUID number in the BIS Care App using the ‘Verify HUID’ feature.
What does a hallmark on gold jewellery consist of?
Since the introduction of HUID (i.e., 1st July 2021), a hallmark consists of three marks-the BIS logo, the purity of the article in caratage and fineness, and the six-digit alphanumeric HUID number.
