How to Choose a Trustworthy Jeweller in Kumarghat
Three checks before walking into any showroom
Verify BIS Hallmark Licence
Every legitimate jeweller in Kumarghat selling gold must hold an active BIS hallmarking licence (BIS-HUID). Confirm before purchase:
- →Ask for the BIS licence number — should match the bill
- →Look for the BIS triangle logo + HUID on every piece
- →Cross-check on the BIS Care app — fake licences will fail validation
Compare Making Charges
Making charges are the biggest hidden variable. Across Tripura, expect 11–17% — a 5% gap on a ₹50,000 piece is ₹2,500. Get quotes from at least 3 jewellers and ask:
- →Is making charge a fixed % or per-gram rate?
- →Different rate for handcrafted vs machine-made?
- →Any wastage charge added on top? (deal-breaker if yes)
- →Are stones billed by weight or per-piece?
Check Buy-Back & Exchange Policy
Most gold purchases will eventually be exchanged or sold back. Kumarghat jewellers vary widely on terms — read the fine print before buying:
- →Buy-back rate: today's gold rate, or yesterday's?
- →Wastage deduction on buy-back? (usually 2–8%)
- →Exchange terms — full value of old gold, or partial?
- →Is the policy in writing on your bill or just verbal?
Verbal commitments aren't legally binding — insist on written terms.
