    What should silver buyers keep in mind ahead of Dhanteras and Diwali?

    Since a lot of people must have been thinking of buying silver jewellery ahead of the festivals of Dhanteras and Diwali, they should compare prices across jewellers before making a purchase. The IBJA rate is not the final rate that a jeweller offers. The final rate of a silver jewellery item may include the Goods and Services Tax (GST), making charges and other applicable costs.

    At the same time, it is also important to check the purity of silver you are buying.

    Is silver hallmarking mandatory in India?

    The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) introduced hallmarking for silver jewellery on a voluntary basis in October 2005.

    Silver jewellery hallmarking charges

    Hallmarking charges payable by jewellers to recognised AHCs: Silver - Rs. 35/- per article, with minimum consignment fee of Rs.150/-. The corresponding BIS levy from AHCs is Rs 3.50 per silver article (minimum Rs. 15/- per consignment). Applicable taxes as per prevalent rates shall be payable in addition to the above.

    What are the silver purity grades?

    The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) specifies eight silver purity grades: 800, 835, 900, 925, 958, 970, 990 and 999 ppt.

    Silver jewellery hallmarking: Check HUID and purity before buying

    The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) introduced hallmarking for silver jewellery on a voluntary basis in October 2005. Under the scheme, jewellers can obtain a certificate of registration under IS 2112 to sell hallmarked silver jewellery.

    The BIS has since updated the hallmarking standard by introducing IS 2112:2025, which replaces the earlier IS 2112:2014.

    It incorporates the HUID hallmarking of silver jewellery/artefacts, which will also improve traceability and is more like the hallmarking system for gold.

    Under the revision, the consumer will be able to identify the type of article, jeweller registration No., etc., of silver jewellery/articles hallmarked on or after September 1, 2025, through the BIS Care app.
