BIS Hallmark Registration in Assam

Assam's economy is anchored by tea, oil and gas around Digboi, and a large agricultural base — sectors with credit cycles that don't always match what conventional bank products offer. As gold and silver jewellery sales continue across Assam, Hallmark registration is what keeps that trade compliant and verifiably trustworthy.

StartRight4U works with jewellers across Assam to get Hallmark registration done right, keeping every piece sold fully compliant.

What Is BIS Hallmark Registration?

BIS Hallmarking is the official purity certification for gold and silver jewellery in India, mandatory for jewellers selling hallmarked gold under the BIS Hallmark scheme. A registered jeweller can get its jewellery tested and marked with a Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) number, confirming the exact purity (22K, 18K, 14K, etc.) to the buyer through a government-verifiable code.

Why Hallmark Registration Matters

Gold purity fraud has historically been a significant consumer protection problem in India — a piece sold as 22K might actually be lower purity, with no easy way for a buyer to verify it. Hallmark registration brings a jeweller under BIS's certification system, where every piece is independently tested at a BIS-recognised Assaying & Hallmarking Centre and marked with a traceable HUID before sale.

Eligibility Criteria for Hallmark Registration

• Valid GST registration and business PAN
• Willingness to route jewellery through a BIS-recognised Assaying & Hallmarking Centre for testing and marking
