Thus, they are cautious as a customer about the\npurity of each piece of jewellery, and they look for BIS registration for\njewellers every time they buy jewellery, be it at any price or from any place.\nEvery jewellery requires registration which certifies its purity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ministry\nof Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution is a regulatory body that\ngrants registration under the provisions of the BIS Act, 2016, along with BIS\n(Hallmarking) Regulations, 2018.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bureau of Indian Standards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nBureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is a National Standard Body which is\nestablished under BIS Act, 2016 in India.

BIS registration for jewellers is granted as assurance that the jewellery being sold is pure and out of any adulteration.

The Government has now made the provisions stating that the BIS registration is mandatory for all jewellers. Any jeweller wishing to obtain the registration can apply online on the Manak online portal of BSI. If the guidelines provided are not followed, then registration can be cancelled by BSI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-left\"><b>Read our Article<\/b>:<mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/online-bis-registration-process\/\">BIS Registration Process- A Step by Step Guide<\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In India, jewellery has different importance, and it has a special place in people\u2019s hearts.
