Now instead of June 1, the implementation of the rule will start from June 15, hallmark can also be done on old jewelery
The confusion of the central government has increased due to the epidemic spreading in the country. The central government has given 15 days more relaxation in the rules related to hallmarks so that the business class does not suffer, that is, from now onwards, the law of hallmarking will be implemented across the country from June 15. Hallmarking will be made mandatory on jewelery from June 15 so that no jeweler can cheat the customers. People associated with the Trade Union Confederation of All India Traders and Jewelers Industry had appealed to the government that traders are upset due to Corona across the country. In such a situation, it will be difficult to implement the hallmarking law from June 1. Therefore, the government should postpone its decision for a few days. Taking all this into consideration, the government has decided to implement the hall marking rule from June 15.
The government has constituted a committee to resolve the questions related to hall marking. Railway and commerce head Piyush Goyal said that people should get hallmarked jewelery immediately. Let us tell you that efforts have been going on for many years to implement the rule of hall marking, but due to some reason or the other, this time has been increasing. Earlier it was to be implemented from January 1, but due to Corona, it was increased to June 1 and now it will be implemented from June 15.
Many people are wondering what will happen to the old jewelery they have with them? But it is not a matter of worry that even the hall marking of old jewelery will be able to be done by the jeweler by taking some charge. After the implementation of this rule, there may be some problem in selling old jewelry. Failure to comply with the rules can result in a fine of five times the cost of the jewelery or one lakh on jewellers. In addition, there may be a prison sentence of 1 year. For this, the government has also started an application called BIS-CARE, on which complaints can be lodged.
