The government has removed gold, silver and platinum jewellery from the 'free' category and placed it in the 'prohibited' category. Its direct impact is visible on the supply of the market, due to which the price of gold and silver has increased today. According to a notification issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), jewellery made of these precious metals will now have to obtain a special license or permission from the government to import jewellery from any country. The government has taken this step to prevent the misuse of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Here are 2 things to keep in mind when buying gold from jewellers. Buy only certified gold: Always buy certified gold that is hallmarked by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This number can be alphanumeric i.e. AZ4524. Hallmarking shows how many carats of gold it is. 2. Cross check the price: Cross check the actual weight of gold and its price on the day of purchase from several sources (such as the website of the India Bullion and Jewellers Association). The price of gold varies according to 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat. 4 Ways to Identify Genuine Silver Magnet Test: Genuine silver does not stick to a magnet. If it sticks, it's fake. Ice Test: Put ice on silver. Ice melts rapidly on real silver. Smell Test: Genuine silver has no smell. Fake smells like copper. Cloth Test: Rub the silver with a white cloth. If there is a black mark, it is genuine. -------------------------------------- also read this news...
