The Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution Shri Ram Vilas Paswan on August 21, 2020 virtually launched the online system of Registration and Renewal of Jewellers and online system of recognition and renewal of the Assaying and Hallmarking Centres.
Salient Features
This online system can be accessed through Bureau of Indian Standards web portal www.manakonline.in.
Hallmarking of precious metals will be mandatory from 1st June 2021.
The moment a jeweller submits the application with the requisite fees, he will be granted registration. A mail and SMS alert will go to him, informing Registration Number, and then he can download and print the Certificate of Registration using the Registration Number.
With hallmarking of gold jewellery and artefacts becoming mandatory, the number of jewellers coming forward for registration is expected to go up5 lakh from the present 31,000.
