Some important announcements have been made in the budget for the bullion and jewelery sector. One, the government has cut the duty of gold and silver slightly. At the same time, by making SEBI a regulator, it has also cleared the way for gold exchange. Apart from this, the steps taken to accelerate the economy will also have an impact on the jewelery market.
Jewelery sector booster
The duty on gold and silver has been reduced from 12.5 per cent to 10 per cent. A 2.5% agri cess has been imposed on Dore Bars. Duty on platinum has been reduced from 12.5 per cent to 10 per cent. Now SEBI will be the regulator of the Gold Exchange.
