While buying gold it is important to ensure two things, first, the article should be hallmarked, and second do not forget to get the GST receipt for your purchase. The purity of gold sold has always been of concern for household consumers in India. The receipt you obtain from your jeweller works as a piece of important evidence in case disputes arise in the future. As per a recent survey by Local Circles, around 14 per cent of those who purchased gold jewellery in the last 12 months did not take receipt of their purchase as they gave payment in cash or wanted to avoid GST. Consumers who avoid taking a GST receipt will miss out on getting redressal possibilities in case the jewellery they purchased turns out to be of inferior quality than what they paid for.
