The government has recently made new rules related to the sale of gold
items such as jewellery. These rules aim to bring more transparency to the
sale of gold items and ensure that customers are not cheated. From April 1
this year, all gold jewellery must have a Hallmark Unique Identification
(HUID) number. If you have old un-hallmarked gold jewellery and want to
exchange or sell it, you must get it hallmarked. Take a look in detail at
the new rules regarding the sale of gold artifacts.

*What is HUID?*

The Hallmark Unique Identification number on a gold artefact offers a
distinct characteristic to the product. It also ensures that the gold item
has the promised purity. The gold articles must have the purity mark, for
example, 22-carat, and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) logo.

*What happens if you want to sell old un-hallmarked jewellery?*

Gold jewellery without a hallmark cannot be sold, according to government
regulations. If you have old un-hallmarked gold ornaments to exchange or
sell, you have to get them hallmarked with a HUID.

Do keep in mind that if your jewellery has already been etched with
old/earlier hallmark signs, you need not go through the hallmarking
process. In this case, gold without HUID will be accepted.

Apart from this, gold under two grams, jewellery meant for international
exhibitions, any article meant for export which is set to the specific
requirement of the foreign buyer, and fountain pens, watches or special
types of ornaments are exempted from hallmarking.

Jewellers with an annual turnover of below Rs 40 lakh are also exempted
from the process.

*How to get old gold jewellery hallmarked?*

Customers can get the jewellery tested from any BIS-recognised hallmarking
centre. The person will have to pay Rs 45 per article, in case the number
of items to be tested is five or more. In case the consignment has four
articles, the charge will be Rs 200.
