It is possible that if you go jewellery shopping, you will only get hallmarked jewellery. From 16 June, hallmarking of gold jewellery has been made mandatory. BIS has a complaint redressal mechanism under which complaints are recorded centrally at Complaints Management and Enforcement Department (CMED). Online, it can be filed through the app BIS CARE or through the consumer engagement portal on the website. Only BIS-registered jewellers can sell hallmarked jewellery.
