Why this matters for jewellery shops
Indian jewellery retail is the second-largest jewellery market globally, regulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS hallmarking mandatory since June 2021), the Drugs & Cosmetics Act for cosmetic-grade items, and a unique GST treatment (3% on gold, 18% on making charges). FilingLab handles BIS registration, GST setup with making-charge reconciliation, mandatory cash-transaction reporting (Form 61A for transactions above ₹2 lakh), and PMLA compliance for jewellers above ₹50 lakh annual turnover.
