Hack of the day: How to verify Gold HUID before buying jewellery
Indian gold buyers can now verify jewellery purity instantly using the BIS Care app or website. A unique Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) number, stamped on each piece, links to a government database detailing purity, jeweller, and assaying centre. This free, quick check ensures you're getting genuine gold, as screenshots or jeweller-provided results are unreliable. Remember, this system applies only to newly hallmarked items.
