Wait 5 sec.

India Bullion and Jewellers Association requests Bureau of Indian Standards for self-hallmarking. IBJA suggests jewellers assign unique codes to silver items. They highlight high logistic costs of moving bulky items to hallmarking centers. Current rules and fines for gold hallmarking may also be amended. Silver jewellery demand is rising, increasing the risk of consumer cheating.
