Description: A fresh enforcement action against counterfeit hallmarked jewellery has highlighted the need for careful checks during India’s Dhanteras and Diwali shopping season. On November 4, the Bureau of Indian Standards seized approximately 19 grams of gold jewellery bearing fake BIS hallmarks from a shop in Chatrapur, Odisha. According to BIS, the establishment lacked valid registration under its Hallmarking Scheme. Further legal action is being initiated. The case concerns counterfeit certification marks; it does not establish that every seized item contained no gold. For families spending savings on festive jewellery, a stamped symbol alone should not end the verification process. Hallmarked gold jewellery carries three identifying elements: the BIS logo, a purity mark such as 22K916, and a six-character alphanumeric Hallmark Unique Identification code, or HUID. Buyers can enter this code in the official BIS CARE app using “Verify HUID.” The displayed information should match the article being purchased. BIS says recent digital upgrades also provide photographs and recorded weight for applicable records, helping customers compare the physical jewellery with its registered details. Consumers should also check the jeweller’s BIS registration and obtain a proper invoice describing the purchase. Keeping that bill matters if a dispute arises over purity or misleading certification. Anyone concerned about an item’s purity can approach a BIS-recognised Assaying and Hallmarking Centre for testing. BIS also provides compensation provisions when hallmarked jewellery is found below its declared purity. During the festive rush, checking the HUID before payment can help Indian households protect both their purchase and their trust in the seller. Subscribe to FactTechz

Episode Title: SCAM in Indian Railways ‘Charging Point’ #shorts Produced by: FactTechz Description: Indian Railways disables the charging points on trains between 11 pm and 5 am as a precautionary safety measure. This rule comes in response to several incidents of minor fires and short‑circuits that occurred when passengers overcharged phones, laptops, or used improper adapters overnight. By cutting power to these outlets at night, rail officials aim to reduce fire risk when most passengers are asleep and fires might go unnoticed until they become serious. This policy was first recommended in 2014, after a fire on the Bangalore–Nanded Express ©, and has since been enforced more strictly by the Railway Board across all zones. Western and Southern Railways began implementation in March of that year. While some argue that installing better circuit breakers or upgrading electrical wiring would be a smarter long‑term solution, railways say those infrastructure updates take time and money...
