New Delhi, March 4: Sale of gold jewellery and gold artefacts hallmarked without six-digit code shall be banned from next month, a Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution statement issued to media said.

According to the statement made available to Ziraat Times, the decision has been taken to ensure quality culture in micro sale units.

The statement also said that effective from 1st April 2023, sale of only those gold jewellery and gold artefacts shall be permitted that have been hallmarked with six-digit alphanumeric HUID — unique identification number. The decision was taken after a review meeting of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) held on 3rd March 2023 chaired by the union cabinet minister Piyush Goyal.

“Starting from 1st April 2023, the sale of only gold jewellery with HUID shall be permitted,” the official statement of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution said adding, “In an effort to promote quality culture in micro scale units, BIS is providing an 80% concession on the certification/minimum marking fee across various product certification schemes of BIS. Additionally, units located in the North-East will continue to receive an extra 10% concession.”

Nidhi Khare, Additional Secretary at the Department of Consumer Affairs said that “in consumers interest, it has been decided that after March 31st, sale of gold jewellery and gold artefacts hallmarked without HUID will not be permitted.”
