Dhanteras Gold Buying: Today, the festival of Dhanteras, which comes first in the 5-day festival of Diwali, is being celebrated with great pomp across the country. In Hindu tradition, there is a trend of buying goods like gold and silver, utensils and electronic items, vehicles during Dhanteras and on this day goods worth thousands of crores of rupees are bought and sold in the country. Today, if you are also going to buy gold and silver items, then it is important for you to keep some things in mind so that you do not buy fake or sub-standard jewelery or other items.
Must have BIS hallmark
While buying gold, one should always keep in mind whether it has a hallmark or not because from April 2023 only the 6 digit hallmark is valid and valid. The hallmark should also be a hallmark of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
Purity
The purity of gold is one of the most important facts. The purity of gold is measured in carats. The highest standard of purity of gold is 24 carat and this is gold of 99.99 grams. However, due to its hardness, it is difficult to make jewellery. 24 carat gold is the purest and there is no adulteration of other metals in it. 22 carat gold is used in making jewelery and some amount of alloy is included in it.
Also know the making charges
If you are buying a gold coin, biscuit or bar, you do not have to pay making charges. If you are buying gold jewellery, you will have to pay making charges for it. This varies from jeweler to jeweler, so you should know about it in advance.
You can test the gold yourself
You can check the gold by entering the Hallmark Unit Identification Number (HUID) on the official BIS-Care BIS-Care app.
