Starting September 2025 every silver item sold in India must carry a BIS Hallmark. This rule is not optional it is a legal requirement. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) the national standards body has already applied hallmarking to gold jewellery. Now silver is also under the same system. The move aims to protect buyers from fraud and ensure that the metal they purchase is pure and tested.
This change answers one direct question: Can you buy or sell silver jewellery in India without a BIS hallmark after September 2025? The answer is simple — No
Silver is one of the most traded metals in India. It is used not only in jewellery but also in utensils, coins, artifacts and gifts. However silver purity often varies. Buyers may think they are getting genuine silver, but the actual quality may fall short of the claim.
The government introduced hallmarking to create transparency in trade. Mandatory hallmarking means:
This move mirrors gold hallmarking rules, which improved trust and reduced disputes in the jewellery sector.
Why BIS Hallmark Registration is Essential for Gold and Silver Jewelry in India?
A BIS Hallmark is a stamp of authenticity. It tells you that the piece of silver has been tested and certified by an official BIS-recognized Assaying and Hallmarking Centre
Every silver item under this system carries a clear mark with the following details:
| Mark Component | Meaning |
|---|---|
| BIS Logo | Symbol showing government recognition |
| Purity/Fineness | Measured in parts per thousand (e.g., 925 for sterling silver) |
| Assaying Centre’s Identification Mark | Code of the testing laboratory |
| Jeweller’s Identification Mark | Code of the manufacturer/seller |
These markings remove doubt. A buyer can check them before making any purchase.
The Bureau of Indian Standards allows different grades of silver, depending on the purpose. The most common is 925, which means 92.5% pure silver, often called “sterling silver.” But BIS recognises multiple grades:
| Purity Grade | Silver Content | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| 999 | 99.9% | Silver bars, coins, investment-grade items |
| 970 | 97.0% | Premium jewellery, artifacts |
| 925 | 92.5% | Ornaments, utensils, standard jewellery |
| 800 | 80.0% | Traditional articles, older designs |
This classification ensures uniform trade and helps buyers understand exactly what they are purchasing.
For jewellers, this rule is not just a formality. It requires investment in compliance and certification.
This system will push small and large jewellers alike to adopt better practices.
If an item is missing these details, it is either illegal to sell or not worth buying. Buyers will have the legal right to demand a hallmarked item, and jewellers must comply.
How to check Hallmark Symbol on Gold Products
While the rule strengthens consumer rights, it also brings challenges:
To address these the government and BIS are expected to expand hallmarking centres, run awareness drives and introduce digital verification systems
Though there may be short-term challenges the benefits are significant:
The rule will reshape India’s silver market into one that values quality and trust.
Most large jewellery chains welcome this decision because it supports their credibility. Smaller sellers are cautious as compliance takes effort. However over time, even local jewellers will adapt much like they did when gold hallmarking became mandatory
Analysts expect the silver market to see higher demand from younger buyers and investors who prefer certified and traceable products. The export sector will also benefit as India gains trust in international trade.
Making BIS hallmarking a compulsion among silver is a paradigm shift in the Indian jewellery business. No sold silver item can be without certification in September 2025 and onwards. This reform instills trust in consumers regarding purity and also makes sure that the sellers meet the international quality standards.
As a manufacturer, seller, or an exporter of silver, you might require professional assistance to be in line with the registration and compliance issues. Agile Regulatory assists companies in navigating the hallmarking regulations, helps handle certification and aids in having a smooth clearance with BIS.
