How to identify real hallmarking

From July 1 last year, the government has made changes in the hallmarking signs of gold jewelery to three. The first sign is of BIS Hallmark. This is a triangular mark. The second sign tells about Purity. That is, it shows that how many carats of gold the jewelry is made of. The third character is a 6 digit alphanumeric code called HUID number. HUID stands for Hallmark Unique Identification Number. Letters and digits are included in this 6 digit code. Every piece of jewelery is allotted a HUID number at the time of hallmarking.
