GJF to issue smart identity card for jewellers, employees

All India Gems and Jewellery Trade Federation (GJF) is likely to unveil a first-of-its-kind Jewellers Identity Card (JID) for member jewellers and their employees, says a report.

The JID would help in establishing their bonafide identities and association with the gems and jewellery sector as well as the Federation. It would provide comfort to all constituents of the national gems and jewellery trade, particularly to small jewellers to avoid various hardships faced by them in establishing their credentials to government authorities, adds a report. Besides, JID would also be useful to identify people internally within the trade whenever any person travels to other places to deliver or collect goods.

The JID is a unique identification credential for people working in the domestic gems and jewellery sector at the time of movement within and outside the city, state or inside the country with precious and semi-precious jewellery, gold and diamond, says a report.
