Readers Response: UID for hallmarking—a curse on jewellery trade- Sanjay Jain

The decision of the BIS regarding introducing UID for hallmarking is a curse on the jewellery trade. We are already going through a tough time. Now, this UID for hallmarking is going to let us think in terms of relinquishing our license. In all the discussions there has not been given any plausible reason for the introduction of this scheme. Malpractices if there are any at the hallmarking centers needs to be curbed by all means so that no item is hallmarked for its wrong purity.

But if it is implemented in the proposed way then I think jewellers will stop getting the jewellery hallmarked in advance. When selected, he will get it certified and then give it to the customer. Otherwise the task involved in keeping the cards and then tracing it at the time of the sale is not possible. A renowned magazine like you should take the initiative in this regard by collecting the opinion from the jewellers across India and then send it to the BIS authorities.
