How to Instantly Verify Gold Purity Using the BIS CARE App

Buying gold jewellery is a significant investment, and ensuring its purity is essential. In India, every gold ornament must carry a unique six-digit HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification) number, certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The BIS CARE app-available on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store-makes it quick and easy for anyone to verify the authenticity of their gold jewellery right from their smartphone.

Why Choose Hallmarked Jewellery?

• Hallmarked jewellery assures buyers of the gold’s purity and protects against adulteration.
  
• The government’s hallmarking scheme enforces strict quality standards, making it safer for consumers to invest in gold.
