Start with the official scheme
BIS publishes a dedicated Jewellers Registration Scheme page with application procedures, guidance and lists of licensed jewellers. The current procedure, eligibility and documentation should always be checked there rather than assumed from a third-party article.
Responsibilities that matter
- Confirm whether the sale and article fall within a mandatory hallmarking area and grade.
- Work through recognised AHCs and applicable BIS procedures.
- Display required registration and hallmarking information at the outlet where applicable.
- Issue an invoice containing the jewellery particulars and other required disclosures.
- Cooperate with BIS surveillance and respond appropriately to purity-related complaints.
A practical approach
Before applying, read the current scheme and the jeweller FAQs, prepare accurate business details, and avoid relying on outdated screenshots of the portal. Do not assume that BIS registration by itself verifies every item; the article-level hallmark and HUID process is separate.
Avoid misleading claims
Hallmark Helper is an independent educational platform; it does not grant registration, issue an official hallmark, or provide a substitute for BIS approval.
