Neha Nagar Instagram – Don’t buy gold jewellery without reading this.
How do you ensure that the gold jewellery you’re buying is genuine or fake?
Here are two foolproof ways to verify the authenticity of your gold:
Step 1: Check for the jeweller’s BIS registration.
-BIS Certification: The jeweller should be registered with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Look for the BIS sign on the shop’s board.
-Hallmark and HUID: Every piece of jewelry should have a hallmark. Additionally, check for the 6-digit HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification), which is unique to each piece.
Step 2: Always Get a Proper Bill
-Invoice: Ensure you get a detailed bill from the jeweler. This serves as proof of purchase and guarantees authenticity.
Step 3: Use the BIS Care App
-Download the App: First, download the BIS Care app from your app store.
-Verify HUID: Open the app, click on ‘Verify HUID’, and enter the 6-digit unique number.
-Details on Screen: The app will display all the details, including the jeweller’s name, hallmark centre name, name of the article, and its carat value.
With these steps, you can ensure that the gold you buy is genuine and avoid falling victim to scams. Remember, always verify before you buy!
