Check Gold Purity: If you have any gold jewelery without hallmark, then now if you want, you can get its purity checked. Hallmark is a standard of purity of gold. Earlier gold was used by hallmarked jewelers but now the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has also allowed the general public to check the purity of their gold jewelery without hallmark from any BIS approved Assay and Hallmarking Center (AHC). BIS has also fixed its fee. To prevent fraud in gold jewelery and artistic items, the central government had made hallmarking mandatory from June 16 last year. At present, around lakhs of gold items are being hallmarked with HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification) every day.

BIS has also fixed the fee for this and common people will be able to get 4 gold items tested for Rs 200. If you have 5 or more gold items, then you will have to pay Rs 45 for each gold jewellery.
