Buy only certified gold: If you want to buy gold then always buy certified gold bearing the hallmark of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Under the new rule, gold will no longer be sold without six-digit alphanumeric hallmarking. Just as there is a 12 digit code on the Aadhaar card, similarly gold will have a 6 digit hallmark code. This is called Hallmark Unique Identification Number i.e. HUID. This number can be alphanumeric i.e. something like this – AZ4524. Through hallmarking, it has become possible to find out how many carats of gold is.
