The gold seal identifies purity
An ordinary man somehow gets gold jewelry made from his hard-earned money. In such a situation, to avoid any type of fraud, a law has been enacted to hallmark jewelery and register the HUID code on it. It has been made mandatory for different cities in the country and now 18 more cities have been included in this list.
The government reported on Thursday in a notification that the fourth phase of mandatory hallmarking for gold jewelry and other artifacts has begun in the country. This time 18 more cities have been included in the list. In this way, now only hallmarked gold jewelry will be compulsorily bought and sold in a total of 361 cities in the country.
