What does a hallmark on gold jewellery consist of?
Since the introduction of HUID (i.e. 1st July 2021), a hallmark consists of 3 marks viz, BIS logo, purity of the article in caratage and fineness and six-digit alphanumeric HUID number.

What is HUID in the hallmarked gold jewellery?
HUID is a Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) number and it is one of the components of a hallmark. It is a six-digit alphanumeric number which is unique for each hallmarked item and is traceable. Customers can also verify the HUID number in the BIS Care App using the 'Verify HUID' feature.
