Hallmarking License (BIS for Jewellers)

In India, the purity of gold and silver jewellery must be certified by BIS through a Hallmarking License. This license is mandatory for jewellers and traders to sell hallmarked jewellery legally, ensuring consumer trust and quality assurance.

At Adept Compliance Solutions, we help jewellers and manufacturers obtain their BIS Hallmarking License quickly and affordably. Whether you're a showroom, retailer, or small-scale manufacturer, we manage the complete compliance journey.

What is Hallmarking License?

A BIS Hallmarking License is issued to jewellers to certify that the gold/silver jewellery being sold meets the purity standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). It allows the jeweller to stamp jewellery with the BIS hallmark—recognized as a mark of trust and purity.

As per Government of India rules, hallmarking is now mandatory for gold jewellery in 256 districts across India and expanding further.
