GJC ने कहा कि उसका विरोध हॉलमार्किंग व्यवस्था से नहीं है। परिषद हॉलमार्किंग को सोने की शुद्धता सुनिश्चित करने, पारदर्शिता बढ़ाने और उपभोक्ताओं का भरोसा मजबूत करने के लिए जरूरी मानती है। मगर, अनिवार्य अनुपालन की लागत में एक साथ करीब 67% की बढ़ोतरी को लेकर परिषद ने सवाल उठाए हैं।

14 सितंबर को जारी हुआ हॉलमार्किंग फीस में बदलाव

GJC के मुताबिक, BIS (Hallmarking) Amendment Regulations, 2026 के तहत सोने के आर्टिकल पर हॉलमार्किंग फीस को 45 रुपए से बढ़ाकर 75 रुपए प्रति आर्टिकल कर दिया गया है। यह संशोधन 14 सितंबर 2026 को अधिसूचित किया गया था।

संशोधित Schedule IV के तहत मान्यता प्राप्त Assaying and Hallmarking Centres (AHCs) को ज्वैलर्स से सोने के आर्टिकल की हॉलमार्किंग के लिए 75 रुपए प्रति आर्टिकल फीस मिलेगी। GJC के अनुसार यह मौजूदा 45 रुपए की फीस से करीब 67% अधिक है।

परिषद का कहना है कि हॉलमार्किंग की मात्रा और भौगोलिक पहुंच में काफी विस्तार हुआ है। ऐसे में प्रति आर्टिकल फीस में इतनी बड़ी बढ़ोतरी से पहले संबंधित लागत संरचना और बाजार की वास्तविक स्थिति का पारदर्शी मूल्यांकन किया जाना चाहिए।

60 करोड़ से अधिक सोने के आर्टिकल पर HUID हॉलमार्किंग

सरकारी आंकड़ों (PIB) का हवाला देते हुए GJC ने बताया कि 1 जुलाई 2021 से 5 मार्च 2026 के बीच 60 करोड़ से अधिक सोने के आर्टिकल पर HUID के साथ हॉलमार्किंग की जा चुकी थी। मार्च 2026 तक अनिवार्य हॉलमार्किंग का दायरा बढ़कर 380 जिलों तक पहुंच गया था।

BIS के अनुसार, 2025-26 के दौरान ज्वैलर्स के खिलाफ 30 से अधिक प्रवर्तन कार्रवाई भी की गईं।

GJC का कहना है कि हॉलमार्किंग के बढ़ते वॉल्यूम से सामान्य तौर पर संचालन में अधिक दक्षता की संभावना बनती है। इसलिए 45 रुपए से 75 रुपए तक फीस बढ़ाने के आधार और लागत संरचना की समीक्षा जरूरी है।

नकली हॉलमार्किंग और गैर-अनुपालन पर ध्यान देने की मांग

GJC ने कहा कि फीस बढ़ाने से हॉलमार्किंग व्यवस्था से जुड़ी मूल समस्याओं का समाधान नहीं होगा। परिषद को उद्योग से कुछ सेवा प्रदाताओं द्वारा आक्रामक डिस्काउंटिंग, व्यावसायिक प्रोत्साहन और हॉलमार्किंग वॉल्यूम हासिल करने के लिए अस्वस्थ प्रतिस्पर्धा को लेकर फीडबैक मिला है।

परिषद के अनुसार, यदि निर्धारित फीस भी बाजार में समान रूप से वसूल नहीं हो रही है, तो केवल फीस को 45 रुपए से बढ़ाकर 75 रुपए करना व्यवस्था की आर्थिक और प्रशासनिक समस्याओं का समाधान नहीं करेगा।

GJC ने यह भी कहा कि BIS की अपनी प्रवर्तन कार्रवाइयां दिखाती हैं कि नकली, अनधिकृत और गैर-अनुपालन वाली हॉलमार्किंग अभी भी चिंता का विषय है। परिषद ने चेन्नई, हैदराबाद, अहमदाबाद, असम और अन्य स्थानों पर हुई कार्रवाइयों का उल्लेख करते हुए कहा कि निगरानी और प्रवर्तन को मजबूत करना प्राथमिकता होनी चाहिए।

अनुपालन लागत बढ़ने से औपचारिक और अनौपचारिक कारोबार में अंतर बढ़ने की आशंका

GJC ने यह भी चिंता जताई कि यदि वैध नियामकीय ढांचे के तहत कारोबार करने की लागत तेजी से बढ़ती है और दूसरी ओर अनधिकृत या अनौपचारिक विकल्प मौजूद रहते हैं, तो दोनों के बीच आर्थिक अंतर बढ़ सकता है।

परिषद के अनुसार, नीति का उद्देश्य वास्तविक और वैध अनुपालन को आसान तथा आर्थिक रूप से व्यवहारिक बनाना होना चाहिए। साथ ही, मजबूत प्रवर्तन के जरिए गैर-अनुपालन को व्यावसायिक रूप से नुकसानदायक बनाया जाना चाहिए।

GJC ने कहा कि हॉलमार्किंग उपभोक्ता संरक्षण की अनिवार्य व्यवस्था है और इसकी फीस ऐसी होनी चाहिए जिससे अधिक से अधिक कारोबारी इसका पालन कर सकें।

हल्के वजन वाली ज्वैलरी पर ज्यादा असर

GJC ने खास तौर पर हल्की और कम कीमत वाली ज्वैलरी पर बढ़ी हुई फीस के प्रभाव का मुद्दा उठाया है। BIS के अनुसार हॉलमार्किंग फीस ज्वैलरी के वजन के आधार पर नहीं, बल्कि प्रति आर्टिकल लगती है।

इसका मतलब है कि एक ग्राम वजन वाले आर्टिकल और उससे कहीं अधिक वजन वाले आर्टिकल पर समान 75 रुपए फीस लागू होती है। इसलिए कम वजन वाली ज्वैलरी में यह शुल्क कुल कीमत के मुकाबले अपेक्षाकृत अधिक प्रभाव डाल सकता है।

GJC के मुताबिक, ऐसे समय में जब सोने की कीमतें पहले से ऊंचे स्तर पर हैं, प्रत्येक आर्टिकल पर बढ़ी हुई निश्चित अनुपालन लागत वैल्यू चेन में कहीं न कहीं अतिरिक्त लागत पैदा कर सकती है।

GJC ने हॉलमार्किंग खत्म करने की नहीं, फीस की समीक्षा की मांग की

GJC के चेयरमैन राजेश रोकड़े ने कहा:

“GJC और आभूषण उद्योग ने लगातार हॉलमार्किंग का समर्थन किया है क्योंकि शुद्धता का आश्वासन और उपभोक्ता विश्वास हमारे व्यापार के लिए मूलभूत हैं। लेकिन हॉलमार्किंग के समर्थन का मतलब यह नहीं है कि अनिवार्य अनुपालन की लागत में लगभग 67% की बढ़ोतरी बिना जांच के लागू कर दी जाए। हॉलमार्किंग की मात्रा में बहुत अधिक विस्तार हुआ है। इसलिए उद्योग यह समझने का हकदार है कि इस स्तर पर प्रति आर्टिकल शुल्क को 45 रुपए से बढ़ाकर 75 रुपए करने की आवश्यकता क्यों है।”

उन्होंने आगे कहा:

“चेन्नई, हैदराबाद, अहमदाबाद, असम और अन्य स्थानों पर BIS की अपनी प्रवर्तन कार्रवाइयां दिखाती हैं कि नकली हॉलमार्किंग, अनधिकृत संचालन और गैर-अनुपालन गंभीर चिंताएं बनी हुई हैं। अनुपालन करने वाले ज्वैलर्स पर बोझ बढ़ाने से पहले प्राथमिकता इन विकृतियों को दूर करने और प्रवर्तन को मजबूत करने की होनी चाहिए। आधिकारिक शुल्क बढ़ाने से अपने आप हॉलमार्किंग व्यवस्था मजबूत नहीं होती।”

GJC के वाइस चेयरमैन अविनाश गुप्ता ने कहा:

“अनुपालन व्यावसायिक रूप से टिकाऊ रहना चाहिए। यदि अनुपालन करने वाला रास्ता लगातार महंगा होता जाता है जबकि अनौपचारिक और अनधिकृत चैनल काम करते रहते हैं, तो दोनों के बीच का अंतर बढ़ता है। यह सरकार, उद्योग या उपभोक्ता, किसी के लिए भी वांछनीय नहीं है।”

उन्होंने आगे कहा:

“हॉलमार्किंग वॉल्यूम की दौड़ में आक्रामक डिस्काउंटिंग और व्यावसायिक प्रोत्साहन को लेकर उद्योग में चिंताएं भी हैं। यदि बाजार में 45 रुपए भी समान रूप से प्राप्त नहीं किए जा रहे हैं, तो पहला सवाल यह होना चाहिए कि ऐसा क्यों हो रहा है और क्या मौजूदा आर्थिक मॉडल में सुधार की आवश्यकता है। वास्तविक बाजार प्रथाओं का अध्ययन किए बिना केवल 75 रुपए निर्धारित करने से मूल समस्या का समाधान नहीं हो सकता।”

GJC ने BIS के सामने रखीं 7 मांगें

GJC ने BIS से निम्नलिखित कदम उठाने का आग्रह किया है:

1. 45 रुपए से 75 रुपए प्रति आर्टिकल की फीस बढ़ोतरी को फिलहाल रोककर व्यापक समीक्षा पूरी होने तक मौजूदा 45 रुपए की फीस जारी रखी जाए।
2. मान्यता प्राप्त Assaying and Hallmarking Centres की पारदर्शी लागत समीक्षा की जाए, जिसमें पूंजीगत लागत, परिचालन खर्च, वॉल्यूम, क्षमता उपयोग और उचित रिटर्न को शामिल किया जाए।
3. AHCs द्वारा वास्तव में वसूली जा रही फीस और निर्धारित दर के बीच अंतर की जांच की जाए। इसमें डिस्काउंट, रिबेट, व्यावसायिक प्रोत्साहन और अन्य बाजार प्रथाओं को भी देखा जाए।
4. नकली हॉलमार्किंग, अनधिकृत AHCs, BIS लोगो के दुरुपयोग और वैध HUID के बिना बेची जा रही ज्वैलरी के खिलाफ प्रवर्तन तेज किया जाए।
5. फीस में किसी भी महत्वपूर्ण बदलाव से पहले GJC, ज्वैलर्स, निर्माताओं और AHCs के प्रतिनिधियों से परामर्श किया जाए।
6. बढ़ते हॉलमार्किंग वॉल्यूम और क्षमता उपयोग से मिलने वाली economies of scale की संभावना का अध्ययन किया जाए, ताकि प्रति आर्टिकल फीस को स्थिर या कम करने की संभावनाएं देखी जा सकें।
7. हल्की और कम मूल्य वाली ज्वैलरी के लिए अलग या अधिक तर्कसंगत फीस व्यवस्था पर विचार किया जाए, क्योंकि समान प्रति-पीस शुल्क ऐसी ज्वैलरी पर अपेक्षाकृत अधिक बोझ डालता है।

GJC ने कहा- मजबूत प्रवर्तन के साथ किफायती अनुपालन जरूरी

GJC ने दोहराया कि घरेलू ज्वैलरी उद्योग वास्तविक हॉलमार्किंग और व्यवस्था का दुरुपयोग करने वालों के खिलाफ सख्त कार्रवाई का समर्थन करता है। परिषद के अनुसार, किसी नियामकीय व्यवस्था में अधिकतम अनुपालन तभी संभव है जब वैध अनुपालन किफायती हो, प्रवर्तन प्रभावी हो और गलत प्रथाओं से आर्थिक लाभ न मिले।

GJC के अनुसार, मौजूदा परिस्थितियों में सोने की हॉलमार्किंग फीस में करीब 67% की बढ़ोतरी से पहले व्यवस्था में मौजूद विकृतियों और प्रवर्तन से जुड़े मुद्दों पर ध्यान देना जरूरी है। इसी आधार पर परिषद ने सरकार और BIS से तत्काल पुनर्विचार की मांग की है।

FAQ’s

1. सोने की हॉलमार्किंग फीस कितनी बढ़ाई गई है?

14 सितंबर 2026 को जारी संशोधित नियमों के अनुसार सोने के आर्टिकल की हॉलमार्किंग फीस 45 रुपए से बढ़ाकर 75 रुपए प्रति आर्टिकल कर दी गई है। GJC के अनुसार यह एक बार में करीब 67 फीसदी की बढ़ोतरी है। परिषद ने इस शुल्क संशोधन की तत्काल समीक्षा करने की मांग की है।

2. GJC ने हॉलमार्किंग फीस बढ़ाने का विरोध क्यों किया है?

GJC का कहना है कि उसका विरोध हॉलमार्किंग व्यवस्था से नहीं, बल्कि अनिवार्य अनुपालन की लागत में अचानक हुई बड़ी बढ़ोतरी से है। परिषद के अनुसार हॉलमार्किंग का दायरा और वॉल्यूम काफी बढ़ चुके हैं, इसलिए शुल्क बढ़ाने से पहले AHCs की वास्तविक लागत, क्षमता उपयोग और बाजार में लागू शुल्क का पारदर्शी अध्ययन किया जाना चाहिए।

3. नई हॉलमार्किंग फीस का हल्के वजन वाले आभूषणों पर क्या असर पड़ सकता है?

हॉलमार्किंग शुल्क आभूषण के वजन के आधार पर नहीं बल्कि प्रति आर्टिकल लगाया जाता है। इसलिए एक ग्राम जैसे हल्के आभूषण पर भी वही शुल्क लागू होता है जो भारी आभूषण पर लगता है। GJC के अनुसार इससे कम मूल्य और हल्के वजन वाले उत्पादों पर शुल्क का अनुपातिक प्रभाव अपेक्षाकृत अधिक हो सकता है।

4. GJC ने सरकार और BIS से कौन-कौन से कदम उठाने को कहा है?

परिषद ने 45 रुपए की मौजूदा फीस को समीक्षा पूरी होने तक जारी रखने, AHCs की लागत का स्वतंत्र और पारदर्शी अध्ययन करने तथा वास्तविक बाजार में लागू शुल्क की जांच करने की मांग की है। इसके साथ ही नकली हॉलमार्किंग, अनधिकृत केंद्रों और BIS लोगो के दुरुपयोग के खिलाफ प्रवर्तन मजबूत करने पर भी जोर दिया गया है।

5. क्या GJC हॉलमार्किंग व्यवस्था को खत्म करने या कमजोर करने की मांग कर रहा है?

GJC ने स्पष्ट किया है कि वह गenuine hallmarking और उपभोक्ता सुरक्षा के लिए हॉलमार्किंग का समर्थन करता है। परिषद की मांग शुल्क बढ़ोतरी की समीक्षा और व्यवस्था में मौजूद विकृतियों को दूर करने से संबंधित है। GJC का कहना है कि प्रभावी प्रणाली में अनुपालन किफायती होना चाहिए और गैर-अनुपालन के खिलाफ विश्वसनीय प्रवर्तन होना चाहिए।

Unprecedented Price Volatility and Market Corrections

The first half of 2026 witnessed extraordinary fluctuations in both gold and silver prices, altering traditional investment and buying patterns:

• Gold Price Matrix: Domestic gold surged to a historic peak of Rs 1,70,480 per 10 grams in January 2026, before undergoing a natural market correction to around Rs 1,42,800 per 10 grams by late June 2026.
• Silver Price Breakthrough: Silver experienced a dramatic, unprecedented rally, crossing the monumental Rs 4 lakh mark to peak at Rs 4,02,490 per kilogram in January 2026. It subsequently eased to the Rs 2,25,940 per kilogram range by late June 2026.

While these record-high figures drove macro investors toward bullion as a reliable safe-haven asset, the severe affordability pressures simultaneously softened retail consumer demand across the country.

Policy Headwinds and the Push for Structural Reforms

Domestic retail operations faced compounded complexities due to recent fiscal policy changes. The customs duty hike announced in May 2026 immediately inflated domestic prices, directly impacting retail sales margins already strained by heavy compliance mandates and the existing GST burden.

In response, the GJC is actively advocating for long-term policy stabilization, placing an analytical focus on the underutilized Gold Monetization Scheme. The Council notes that a robust overhaul of this scheme is essential to unlock the vast reserves of idle household gold, reduce India’s heavy national import dependency, and fortify the domestic supply chain.

Global Catalysts and Macroeconomic Drivers

The bullion market’s volatile trajectory throughout 2026 remains tethered to a combination of international geopolitical and economic factors:

• Geopolitical Flares: Active conflicts in the Middle East and broader global instability consistently fueled early volatility and safe-haven buying.
• Currency Pressures: The steady depreciation of the Indian rupee against the US dollar added structural upward pressure on domestic retail pricing.
• Institutional Demand: Persistent global inflationary trends and aggressive diversification by central banks into gold reserves strongly reinforced the metal’s baseline appeal.

Leadership Insights: Market Resilience & Consumer Adaptation

“The correction in bullion prices during late June reflects a natural adjustment after extraordinary highs. Gold futures settled around Rs 1,42,800 per 10 grams, while silver eased to the Rs 2,25,990 per kg range after crossing Rs 4,00,000 earlier this year. These shifts are driven by profit-taking, a stronger US dollar index, and expectations of prolonged high interest rates globally. Global sentiment has also shifted as safe-haven demand eased after recent geopolitical panic cooled. While futures saw a meaningful drop, retail prices have remained elevated, with 24K gold continuing to trade around Rs 14,250–Rs 14,400 per gram through late June this year. This shows the market is adjusting rather than collapsing. Looking ahead, the upcoming festive season and the peak wedding calendar in the second half of the year are expected to provide strong support to jewellery demand, particularly in lightweight categories. These cultural drivers, combined with India’s deep emotional connect with gold, will ensure that despite volatility, the market remains resilient.” — Rajesh Rokde, Chairman, GJC

“Gold remains an integral part of Indian households, but affordability pressures are real. The next six months will depend heavily on geopolitical stability and government policy, particularly in the context of customs duty and taxation. Excessive duties risk encouraging unofficial channels, which hurts consumers and weakens the trade. We urge policymakers to balance revenue needs with industry sustainability, ensuring that reforms strengthen rather than strain the sector. At the same time, the Gold Monetisation Scheme offers a long-term solution by mobilising idle household gold, reducing import dependency, and reinforcing India’s economic resilience. Consumers are adapting with lightweight jewellery designs, while investors continue to view gold as a safe-haven. The industry stands ready to collaborate with the government so that national interest, consumer welfare, and market stability move forward together.” — Avinash Gupta, Vice Chairman, GJC

H2 2026 Outlook: Consolidation and Seasonal Hopes

Heading into the latter half of 2026, the GJC projects that bullion prices will maintain a volatile posture, likely undergoing a period of consolidation following late June’s downward corrections. While overall consumer jewellery demand may initially remain subdued due to persistent pricing realities, the peak cultural wedding calendar and festive buying are expected to spark a vital sales revival. This demand will likely center on contemporary, lightweight jewellery lines designed to accommodate consumer budgets. Moving forward, the trade remains highly focused on awaiting formal clarity regarding potential tax adjustments and government reforms to the Gold Monetization Scheme.

FAQ’s

1. What are the key findings of the GJC’s 2026 half-year market review?
The GJC reported that India’s gem and jewellery industry experienced significant price volatility during the first half of 2026, driven by record-high bullion prices, market corrections, customs duty changes, and global economic uncertainty. It believes policy reforms will be crucial to sustaining demand in the second half of the year.

2. Why is GJC calling for GST and Gold Monetisation Scheme reforms?
The Council argues that rationalising GST and strengthening the Gold Monetisation Scheme would reduce pressure on consumers, mobilise idle household gold, lower India’s dependence on imports, improve domestic supply, and support long-term growth of the jewellery industry.

3. What factors influenced gold and silver prices during the first half of 2026?
According to GJC, bullion prices were influenced by geopolitical tensions, a weaker Indian rupee, persistent global inflation, central bank gold purchases, higher customs duties, and expectations of prolonged high interest rates, leading to both record highs and subsequent market corrections.

4. What is GJC’s outlook for the jewellery industry in the second half of 2026?
GJC expects bullion prices to remain volatile but believes the festive season and India’s wedding calendar will revive jewellery demand. Consumer interest is likely to focus on lightweight and contemporary jewellery, while the industry awaits further government policy announcements.

5. What is the role of the All India Gem & Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC)?
The All India Gem & Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) is India’s apex trade body representing the domestic gems and jewellery industry. It works closely with the government and industry stakeholders to promote trade, advocate policy reforms, improve compliance, strengthen consumer confidence, and support the sector’s sustainable growth.

GJC Inaugurates New Strategic Command Center in Parel

The GJC, representing over six lakh jewellers nationwide, officially opened its new office at Trust House, Parel East, Mumbai on Thursday, May 14, 2026.

The inauguration ceremony was graced by:

• Chitra Wagh – Member of Legislative Council Maharashtra

• Members of the Committee of Administration (COA)

This new office stands as a testament to two decades of GJC’s advocacy for transparency and responsible trade practices. Industry leaders noted that the facility will serve as a central hub for safeguarding the interests of artisans, traders, and consumers alike.

Industry Aligns with National Economic Priorities

On 13th May 2026, GJC also convened a nationwide virtual meeting attended by Chairman Mr. Rajesh Rokde, Vice Chairman Mr. Avinash Gupta, past Chairmen including Mr. Ashok Minawala and Mr. Saiyam Mehra, senior industry leader Mr. Nitin Khandelwal, zonal committee members, trade associations, and jewellers from across India.

The meeting was organised to deliberate upon the Government’s recent economic measures relating to customs duty revisions on gold and silver, broader macroeconomic concerns, and the need for constructive industry participation in supporting national economic priorities.

Following the inauguration, GJC convened a high-level nationwide virtual meeting on May 13, 2026, to address the Government’s recent revisions to customs duties on gold and silver. Acknowledging the pressure on the Current Account Deficit (CAD) and foreign exchange management, the Council reiterated that the gems and jewellery sector stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the government during global economic uncertainties.

Key Industry Directives & Suggestions

• Recent customs duty revisions have resulted in higher landing costs of gold and silver, thereby impacting market dynamics and consumer purchasing behaviour.
• GJC emphasized the importance of industry unity and constructive engagement with the Government while presenting structured recommendations for revitalising the Gold Monetisation Scheme (GMS).
• Members deliberated upon the need to encourage responsible consumption patterns, with greater focus on value-added jewellery purchases and old gold exchange mechanisms and also discourage the selling pure gold bars to end consumers
• The industry stressed the importance of promoting recycling and circulation of idle household gold within the formal economy.

Leadership Perspectives: A Vision for ‘Atmanirbhar’ Jewellery Sector

Mr. Rajesh Rokde, Chairman of GJC, emphasized the industry’s patriotic stance:

“We extend our sincere gratitude to Shri Ajay Sancheti ji, Shri Pankaj Bhoyar ji, and Smt. Chitra Wagh ji for gracing this important occasion and encouraging the industry through their presence. The inauguration of GJC’s new office marks an important institutional milestone for the Council and reflects the collective strength and unity of the Indian gems and jewellery fraternity.

At this important juncture, GJC and the entire industry stand firmly with the nation and respect the Government’s policy decisions taken in the larger national interest. India’s gems and jewellery sector has historically demonstrated resilience, discipline, and adaptability during periods of economic transition, and we are confident that the trade will continue to act responsibly and contribute positively towards national economic priorities.

GJC has urged its members to discourage the selling pure gold bars to end customers and promote jewellery sales by strengthening old gold exchange mechanisms, and support measures that help reduce pressure on imports and Current Account Deficit (CAD). We believe the present customs duty revisions are part of a calibrated economic approach in the prevailing scenario, and the trade should remain calm, confident, and constructive in its outlook. GJC will continue working closely with the Government and all stakeholders to ensure long-term stability, consumer confidence, and sustainable growth of the sector.”

Mr. Avinash Gupta, Vice Chairman of GJC, highlighted the long-term roadmap:

“The establishment of GJC’s own office is a proud milestone that reflects the confidence, unity, and progress of the Indian gems and jewellery fraternity. This achievement is the result of the vision, dedication, and contribution of all past Chairmen, founding members, industry leaders and most importantly our valued members who have strengthened GJC over the last two decades.

Gold and jewellery remain deeply connected with India’s economy, traditions, and household savings culture. At this stage, the industry must continue conducting business responsibly while supporting artisans, traders, and consumers with confidence and stability.

GJC fully supports the nation’s larger economic priorities and remains committed to constructive engagement with policymakers to safeguard stakeholder interests and ensure the long-term growth and stability of the sector.

By integrating local jewellers into a regulated, tech-driven framework, the council aims to help the government unlock billions in “idle” gold, reducing import dependency and strengthening the nation’s macroeconomic stability.

A Digital Leap for Physical Assets

The core of the GJC’s proposal is a formal transition toward a digital gold ecosystem. This framework, developed in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Ministry of Finance, seeks to solve the structural inefficiencies that have hindered the adoption of previous schemes.

• Dematerialisation: Physical gold (bullion, coins, and jewellery) would be converted into digital balances held within the banking system.
• Jeweller Integration: The model leverages the trust and reach of local jewellers to act as key facilitators in the formal financial system.
• Interest-Bearing Wealth: Traditionally non-yielding gold assets are transformed into interest-earning financial instruments without the owner needing to liquidate their holdings.

Transparency and Accountability

To address consumer and regulatory concerns, the GJC has anchored the revised framework on three pillars of governance:

• Full Transparency: End-to-end digital recording of every stage, from deposit and assaying to the final credit.
• Traceability: System-based tracking across the entire value chain, supported by verifiable audit trails.
• Accountability: Clear responsibilities for banks, refiners, and jewellers, backed by strict KYC compliance and regulatory oversight.

Economic Impact: Reducing the Import Burden

The GJC believes this revamped scheme is critical for India’s broader economic health.

• Market Formalisation: Shifting toward a regulated digital framework will improve compliance standards and market efficiency.
• Current Account Deficit (CAD): By mobilising domestic idle gold, the government can significantly reduce its reliance on expensive gold imports, which are a major drain on foreign exchange.
• Leveraging Investment Trends: With the recent surge in gold bullion and coin investments, the GJC sees a massive opportunity to bring these private holdings into the formal economy

Leadership Insight

“The proposed model integrates jewellers into a regulated, digital ecosystem, significantly enhancing transparency and trust for consumers. By unlocking the value of idle gold, we can strengthen domestic supply and reduce reliance on imports.” — Mr. Rajesh Rokde, Chairman of GJC

“The revamped GMS is designed to be practical and scalable. It creates a secure pathway for investors to earn returns on idle gold, transforming it into a productive financial instrument.” — Mr. Avinash Gupta, Vice Chairman of GJC

FAQ’s

1. What is the main proposal by GJC?
GJC has proposed a digital transformation of the Gold Monetisation Scheme, where physical gold like jewellery and coins can be converted into digital assets within the banking system, making it easier to manage, track, and earn returns on gold holdings.

2. How will the digital gold system work?
Under the proposed model, deposited gold will be converted into digital balances after proper valuation and verification. These balances will be maintained in bank accounts, ensuring transparency, traceability, and ease of transactions for investors.

3. What role will jewellers play in the new system?
Local jewellers will act as key facilitators, helping customers deposit gold, verify purity, and integrate them into the formal financial system, leveraging their existing trust and reach among consumers.

4. How does this benefit the Indian economy?
The scheme can reduce dependence on gold imports by mobilising idle domestic gold, improve market transparency, and help lower the current account deficit while strengthening overall economic stability.

5. Can investors earn returns under this scheme?
Yes, the revamped model allows investors to earn interest on their deposited gold, transforming traditionally non-yielding assets into income-generating financial instruments without selling their gold.
