After the festivals, the season of weddings has now started. During this time people buy gold jewelery. While purchasing gold jewelery, hallmarking bills should also be sought. It should be checked that the bill given by the shopkeeper should have important information.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) makes other rules such as the purity of gold and billing. According to BIS, only hallmark jewelery should be purchased and the shopkeeper should take an authentic bill. This is very important. If you have any problem or complaint while buying jewelery, it is very important to have a receipt.
According to BIS rules, the receipt of the purchased jewelery should contain information about hallmark jewelery. The receipt should have information about the number of jewelery, their various reasons and carat information as well as hallmark.
The name of the object in the jewelery bill, for example, suppose you bought a ring, what is the ring, its weight, purity, such as it is 22 carats, 18 carats, etc. This should include the current price of gold, making charge, hallmark charge and GST.
If there is a separate stone or any other item in the gold jewelery, then it will have to be informed in the shopkeeper’s bill. Which and how many stones are used and how much they weigh.
If you are in doubt about the purity of gold, then BIS also provides the facility to check its purity. It can be checked by visiting any BIS -backed assignment and hallmarking center (A&H center). For this, you have to pay testing charge.
