Silver is no longer just a budget alternative to gold. It is fast becoming India’s most practical, versatile, and future-ready precious metal.
But as silver demand rises, one question matters more than ever:
How do you know your silver is genuine?
With increasing awareness around purity and authenticity, the Government of India has strengthened regulations to protect consumers. The result? A new era of transparency in silver jewellery.
What Is BIS Hallmarked Silver?
BIS hallmarked silver is a government-certified guarantee of purity for silver jewellery, items, and artefacts in India. It is regulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the national authority responsible for maintaining quality standards across the country.
As of September 1, 2025, all hallmarked silver must carry a mandatory 6-digit alphanumeric HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification) code. This unique code enhances transparency and allows buyers to independently verify the authenticity of their jewellery.
A genuine BIS hallmarked silver piece will include:
- The BIS logo
- The purity grade (such as 925 for sterling silver or 999 for fine silver)
- The 6-digit alphanumeric HUID code
Together, these markings ensure accountability, standardization, and complete confidence for silver buyers across India.
What Does the Mandatory HUID Mean for You?
The introduction of the HUID system is a major step forward.
Each jewellery piece now receives a unique identification number, which:
- Confirms it has been tested at an authorised assaying centre
- Links the product to registered jewellers
- Allows customers to verify authenticity independently
This removes blind trust from the purchase process.
You don’t just rely on a brand’s promise — you can verify the purity yourself.
Why This Is a Big Win for Silver Buyers
1️⃣ No More Fake Silver
Under-purity and misrepresentation become significantly harder under the HUID system.
2️⃣ Uniform Standards Across India
Whether you shop in Kochi, Mumbai, or Delhi, purity regulations remain consistent nationwide.
3️⃣ Stronger Resale & Value Retention
Hallmarked silver carries higher credibility in resale and exchange scenarios.
4️⃣ Greater Confidence in Silver as the Future Metal
With regulation in place, silver moves beyond “budget jewellery” into the space of certified, trusted precious metal.
