Changes in the rule of buying gold from April 1, jewelery without hallmark will not be valid

Gold Hallmarking Rules: If you are planning to buy gold after March 31, then this news is useful for you. Jewelery without Hallmark will not be valid after March 31, 2023. In fact, the central government has made a big change in the rule of buying gold jewellery. The Consumer Affairs Ministry has informed that after March 31, no jewelery will be able to survive without Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID).

The rule will come into effect from April 1, 2023
The Consumer Ministry said that this decision has been taken regarding the confusion of 4 and 6 digit hallmarking. According to the new rule, now only alphanumeric hallmarking of 6 numbers will be valid. Without this it will not be valid to sell gold jewellery. Along with this, the ministry has also said that now the four-digit hallmarks will also be completely closed. It is noteworthy that the government had started making efforts a year and a half ago to stop the sale of fake jewelry in the country.

What is HUID?
Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) number identifies the purity of the jewellery. This is a 6 digit alphanumeric code through which customers get all the information about gold jewellery. Through this code, there is a lot of reduction in the cases of fraud. This number is put on every jewellery. In such a situation, shopkeepers will not be able to sell jewelery without hallmark from April 1, while customers will be able to sell old jewelery without hallmark. Let us inform that there are a total of 1338 hallmarking centers across the country. Let us tell you that this center is present in 85 percent of the country and more centers are being built in the remaining parts.
