Hallmark Gold Price Today — And What "Hallmarked" Actually Certifies
Hallmark gold price today stands at ₹15,101.34 per gram for 24K gold on September 16, 2026. A BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) hallmark is a government-certified stamp confirming that a piece's actual purity matches what the jeweller claims — it is legal proof, not a marketing label. Hallmarking has been mandatory for gold jewellery and artefacts sold in India (above a specified purity threshold) since June 2021.
A genuine BIS hallmark carries three marks: the BIS logo itself, a fineness/purity number, and — since April 2023 — a unique 6-digit alphanumeric HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification) code specific to that individual piece. The fineness number tells you the karat in BIS's own coding: 999 for 24K, 916 for 22K, 750 for 18K, 585 for 14K, and 375 for 9K. At today's rate, 22K (916) works out to ₹13,842.89 per gram and 18K (750) to ₹11,326.00 per gram on a pure-metal basis, before making charges and GST.

How to Verify a HUID on the BIS CARE App
The HUID exists so that any individual piece of jewellery can be traced back to the exact hallmarking centre and jeweller that certified it — it is not a batch code, it is unique to that one item. You can check it yourself: download the BIS CARE app (published by the Bureau of Indian Standards), go to its "Verify HUID" option, and enter the 6-digit code stamped on your piece or printed on the invoice. A genuine HUID returns the item's registered purity, the hallmarking centre, and the jeweller's registration details. If the app returns nothing, or details that don't match what you were told at the counter, that is a real discrepancy worth raising before you complete the purchase.
What hallmarking does not cover
A hallmark certifies gold purity — it says nothing about making charges, design labour, or (for alloys like white or rose gold) which secondary metal was used in the mix. A 916-stamped chain is genuinely 22K gold, but the final bill still depends entirely on the making charge the jeweller applies on top; see our gold chain price page for how those making-charge norms vary by workmanship. Coins from BIS-recognised refiners carry their own purity and mint certification too — covered on our gold coin rate page.

Why Hallmarking Matters Beyond the Purchase
A hallmark and its HUID stay relevant well past the day you buy — they are what a buyer, a jeweller doing an exchange, or a lender assessing a gold loan will check when the piece changes hands again. An unhallmarked or mismatched piece typically fetches a weaker resale or exchange offer than an identical hallmarked one, simply because the next buyer has no independent way to confirm its purity without melting or testing it.
Hallmarking sits alongside two other policy layers that shape what you actually pay for gold in India: import duty, which affects the base metal cost before it ever reaches a showroom, and GST, charged at the point of sale. Our gold import duty and GST on gold pages cover those two in depth.

Yes, since June 2021, hallmarking is mandatory for gold jewellery and artefacts sold in India above a specified purity threshold. A jeweller selling unhallmarked gold above that threshold is not complying with the current rule.
HUID stands for Hallmark Unique Identification — a 6-digit alphanumeric code unique to one specific piece of jewellery, mandatory since April 2023. Unlike the purity stamp, which is shared across all pieces of that karat, the HUID traces back to that single item's hallmarking record.
Download the BIS CARE app (published by the Bureau of Indian Standards), open its "Verify HUID" option, and enter the 6-digit code from the piece or invoice. A genuine HUID returns the registered purity, hallmarking centre and jeweller details — if nothing comes back, or the details don't match, treat it as a red flag.
916 is the fineness number for 22K gold (91.6% pure) that appears as part of the hallmark. Hallmarking is the BIS certification process; 916 (or 999 for 24K, 750 for 18K) is the purity grade it certifies. Today, 22K gold works out to about ₹13,842.89 per gram.
No. A hallmark certifies gold purity only. It says nothing about making charges, design labour, or — for alloys like white or rose gold — which secondary metal was used. Those are separate questions to ask your jeweller.
You have no independent, verifiable proof of the purity you were told. An unhallmarked piece typically also fetches a weaker resale or exchange offer later, since the next buyer can't confirm its purity without testing it themselves.
