## THE MINISTER OF STATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS, FOOD AND PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION (SHRI C. R. CHAUDHARY)

(a)  : Madam,  Gold  and  silver  jewellery  sold  to  the  consumers  in  the  country  are  both hallmarked and without hallmark. Regarding hallmarked jewellery, no large scale adulteration in the  country  has  been  reported.  However  in  case  of  jewellery  sold  without  hallmark,  BIS  had conducted two market surveys in the past. Details of the survey are given below:

| Particulars                | Results of Survey of 2001   | Results of Survey of 2006   |
|----------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
| Sample size of survey      | 120 samples in 8 cities     | 162 samples in 16 cities    |
| Samples failing            | 89%                         | 90%                         |
| Average Shortage in purity | 11%                         | 13.5%                       |
| Highest purity shortage    | 38.6%                       | 44.6%                       |

(b) to (e) : At present no proposal  for  making Hallmarking  mandatory  for Gold and Silver Jewellery as per the enabling provisions of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016 is under consideration of the Government.

The  hallmarking  charges  are  Rs  25  per  article.  Therefore,  cost  of  hallmarking  as  a proportion to the total cost of jewellery is negligible.
