What are the new rules?

The rules for buying and selling gold jewellery have now changed. The new rules have come into effect from April 1, 2023. In such a situation, women may face a lot of difficulty in selling old gold jewellery. The government has made hallmarking mandatory from April 1, 2023. In such a situation, jewellery without a hallmark cannot be bought and sold across the country. In such a situation, people who have non-hallmark jewellery may face difficulty in selling it or getting other jewellery in its place.

Hallmark is required

Hallmarked jewellery has the logo of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Apart from this, it is also stated how many carats of gold the jewellery or jewellery piece is. Jewellery is usually made of 18 to 22 carat gold. With this, jewellers will no longer be able to cheat customers easily.
