Running a Jewellery Shop in India: A Complete Guide
BIS hallmarking, HUID compliance, GST on gold jewellery, making charge methods, and old gold exchange — everything your jewellery software needs to handle
BIS Hallmarking & HUID: Mandatory Since June 2021
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) made hallmarking mandatory for gold jewellery in India from June 16, 2021. Every gold piece sold must carry a Hallmark Unique ID (HUID):
What is HUID?
A 6-character alphanumeric code (e.g., AB1234) laser-engraved on each jewellery piece at a BIS-authorised Assaying & Hallmarking Centre (AHC). Uniquely identifies each piece in India.
Who Must Comply?
All registered jewellers selling gold jewellery in 14K, 18K, 20K, 22K, 23K, or 24K purity. Non-compliance penalties: up to ₹1 lakh fine plus up to 1 year imprisonment.
Software Records Required
Store HUID numbers in your billing system against each invoice line item. Customers can verify authenticity via the BIS Care App using the HUID. Print HUID on every invoice.
GST on Gold Jewellery: The Two-Part Invoice Structure
GST on jewellery has two separate components shown distinctly on every invoice. Mixing them is a common compliance error:
| Component | GST Rate | Example (22K, 10g at ₹6,000/g) |
|---|---|---|
| Gold Value (weight × purity × rate) | 3% | ₹60,000 × 3% = ₹1,800 GST |
| Making Charges | 5% | ₹4,000 making × 5% = ₹200 GST |
| Total Invoice Value | ₹60,000 + ₹4,000 + ₹1,800 + ₹200 = ₹66,000 | |
Note: Silver jewellery attracts 3% GST (no separate making charges rate). Diamond jewellery attracts 3% on diamond value + 5% on making charges.
Making Charges: Three Calculation Methods
Jewellers use different pricing models for craftsmanship. Your software should support all three to accommodate different business types:
Per Gram
Fixed amount charged per gram of gold weight. Example: ₹400/gram × 10g = ₹4,000 making charges.
Best for: Standard catalogue designs, mass-produced items
Percentage of Gold Value
% of total gold value. Example: 8% on ₹60,000 gold value = ₹4,800 making charges.
Best for: Intricate designs where labour scales with material value
Fixed Per Piece
Set price per piece regardless of weight. Example: ₹15,000 fixed charge for a bespoke necklace design.
Best for: Custom orders, antique restoration, one-of-a-kind pieces
Old Gold Exchange: Documentation & Compliance
When a customer exchanges old gold, the transaction must be properly documented for GST, income tax, and anti-money laundering compliance:
5-Step Exchange Process
- 1. Weigh the old gold — Record gross weight before melting
- 2. Test purity — Touchstone/acid test or BIS AHC assay
- 3. Calculate exchange value — Net weight × purity × current market rate
- 4. Issue purchase receipt — Collect customer ID (PAN if transaction >₹2 lakh)
- 5. Adjust the new purchase bill — Show old gold credit as a deduction on the final invoice
Tax Compliance Requirements
- • Old gold purchases above ₹2 lakhs require customer PAN details
- • Maintain a purchase register with date, weight, purity, and customer details
- • Cash transactions above ₹2 lakhs require TCS (Tax Collected at Source) filing
- • PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) reporting for high-value transactions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it support different gold purities?
Yes! OnePlaceHQ supports 24K, 22K, 18K, and custom purities. Each with separate rates and automatic calculations.
Can I track HUID/Hallmark numbers?
Absolutely! You can record HUID numbers for each piece, track hallmark status, and print them on invoices as required by BIS.
How does old gold exchange work?
Record old gold purchase with weight, purity, and rate. The system automatically adjusts the final bill amount and generates proper documentation.
Is GST calculated properly for jewellery?
Yes, 100% GST compliant with 3% rate for gold jewellery. Proper breakdown on invoices, and GSTR reports ready for filing.
How much does OnePlaceHQ Jewellery Software cost?
OnePlaceHQ Jewellery Software is currently in development. Join our WhatsApp waitlist to receive early pricing details when we launch. We're building it for jewellery shops of all sizes across Tamil Nadu — from small retail shops to large showrooms.
Does it support diamond jewellery and silver inventory alongside gold?
Yes! OnePlaceHQ handles gold, silver, and diamond jewellery inventory. Weight-wise stock tracking works across all metal types, with separate valuation methods for each. Diamond pieces use stone count and carat weight, while silver uses gram-weight pricing.
How does the software apply different GST rates to gold value vs making charges?
Indian GST law requires separate treatment: 3% GST applies on the gold value (weight × purity × today's rate), and 5% GST applies on making charges. OnePlaceHQ automatically computes both components and displays them as distinct line items on every invoice — exactly as required for GSTR compliance.
Can I record advance payments and track outstanding balances for custom orders?
Yes! Record advance payments when a customer places a custom jewellery order. The system tracks the outstanding balance throughout the manufacturing process and generates a final settlement invoice showing the advance paid and balance due when the jewellery is ready for delivery.
