BIS Introduces New Hallmarking Measures for Jewellery

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) said it will now ask jewelers to take pictures and record the weight of jewellery when they put a hallmark on it.

This helps keep track of the metal and stops people from cheating.

BIS also said it will take legal action against those who break the rules.

They held a training event in a town called Tadepalligudem, where local jewelers learned about the new rules and how to use a new phone app called BIS Care.

The goal is to make sure everyone follows the standards and that customers can trust the jewellery they buy.
