BIS hallmarking is a system for the official recording of the purity or fineness of precious-metal jewellery. In India, hallmarked gold jewellery carries the BIS Standard Mark, purity/fineness mark and a six-digit alphanumeric HUID. Hallmarking provides consumers with third-party assurance of the declared purity of the precious metal.

All jewellery at Girishbhai Gandevikar Jewellers is HUID marked. HUID stands for Hallmark Unique Identification. It is a unique six-digit alphanumeric code assigned to an individual hallmarked jewellery article. The HUID is one of the components of the current BIS hallmark and helps make the article traceable.

You can verify the HUID of hallmarked gold jewellery using the BIS Care app. Use the "Verify HUID" feature and enter the six-digit alphanumeric code marked on your jewellery. BIS provides this facility for consumers to verify hallmarked gold jewellery.
