What the source reported
Source-reportedThe Bureau of Indian Standards has raised mandatory jewellery hallmarking charges from ₹45 to ₹75 per article, prompting the Gem & Jewellery Council to seek a review. GJC said the flat fee could disproportionately raise compliance costs for lightweight, lower-value jewellery and urged stronger enforcement against unauthorised hallmarking operations.
