Dhanteras gold buying: three checks before you pay

Original: Dhanteras is Friday, 6 Nov. Three checks before buying gold in India: 1. Verify the HUID with BIS's BIS Care app. 2. GST

Dhanteras falls on Friday, 6 November, and shoppers across India are preparing to buy gold for the festival. Buyers are being advised to run three quick checks first: verify the jewellery's Hallmark Unique ID using the BIS Care app, budget for the 3% GST charged on gold, and review credit card reward exclusion lists, since many cards earn no rewards on jewellery purchases.

Why now: With Dhanteras approaching, Indians traditionally buy gold on this day and want practical tips to avoid overpaying or buying unverified jewellery.
