Creating Hallmarking Unique ID causing delay, say retailers
Members of the Chennai Jewellers’ Association and The Jewellers and Diamond Traders Association, Madras, downed shutters for a few hours on Monday in protest against new hallmarking rules. They staged a demonstration on N.S.C. Bose Road and held placards against the move to provide Hallmarking Unique ID (HUID) for every piece of jewellery. The token strike coincided with the nationwide protest. Around 7,000 shops remained closed between 9 a.m. and 11.30 a.m. against HUID being made mandatory. The Bureau of Indian Standards had made gold hallmarking mandatory for 14, 18 and 22 carat jewellery since June 1.
