All gold jewellery must bear hallmark from June
The Hindu
No further extension sought: Nandan
The Centre will go ahead with its plan to mandate hallmarking of gold jewellery from June 1. The plan had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, the then Union Minister for Consumer Affairs Ram Vilas Paswan had announced January 2021 as the deadline, but jewellers had been given an extension. No further extension has been sought, Consumer Affairs Secretary Leena Nandan said at a virtual press conference. Gold hallmarking is a purity certification and is voluntary at present.More Related News
