Plastic is part of more of our daily lives than we often realise. Take a moment to look around. Recognising
where plastic shows up is the first step towards using less of it. Notice it. Rethink it. Reduce it.

Single-use plastic takes seconds to discard, but hundreds of years to break down in our environment.

Smart consumer choices start with saying no to single-use items.

Promises of quick and easy money can be tempting, but they may come with hidden risks. Be cautious of schemes where earning depends on continuously bringing in new members. Before investing, verify the details, understand how the scheme works and make an informed choice. Stay alert, check before you invest.

The BIS certification scheme for silver refineries and mints, extends structured purity assurance and hallmarking to silver bullion and coins across India and establishes a national framework for silver purity modelled after the existing Gold Refinery Scheme.

Following the gazette notification of Amendment No. 1 to Indian Standard IS 2112:2025 (Silver and Silver Alloys, Jewellery/Artefacts — Fineness and Marking), fine silver bullion and coins of three purity grades: 999.9, 999.5, and 999.0 parts per thousand (ppt), have been included in scope of the standard, with provision for hallmarking by BIS licensed refineries and mints.

Under the scheme, BIS will grant license to qualified silver refineries and mints after assessing their technical competence, refining processes, and testing infrastructure. Licensed facilities will be authorized to apply the official BIS hallmark to silver bullion and coins conforming to the prescribed requirements.

For assured authenticity and traceability across the precious metals supply chain, hallmarked silver bullion and coins will bear a standardized BIS mark comprising of the BIS Standard Mark accompanied by the word SILVER, purity grade (999.9, 999.5, or 999.0), the manufacturer’s identification mark and a unique serial number for batch traceability.

The standard prescribes rigorous sampling and testing protocols for refineries and mints to determine the silver content in bullion and coins. These include advance analytical methods such as Gravimetric testing (IS 2113), ICP-OES difference method (IS 16900 / ISO 15096) and Spark-OES difference methods (IS 19563 / ISO 18214).
