When buying 18, 22, or 20 karat gold, check for the "Hallmark". Look for the BIS logo, karat, fineness, and 6-digit HUID. Each hallmarked piece has a unique HUID. Note: Selling hallmarked gold without a 6-digit HUID is prohibited after March 31, 2023.

Check gold quality easily with your phone. Download the BIS Care App, zoom in on the jewelry, and scan the HUID. Enter the HUID in the app to see jeweler details, registration number, purity, item type, and hallmarking center. The 6-digit HUID guarantees purity and ensures a fair market price in the future.

If you find discrepancies in quality, complain and take action. If hallmarked jewelry has lower purity, you can get a refund. Ensure you get genuine gold when buying jewelry. Checking quality is always a good idea!
