thebalanced.newsJewellery Industry Calls for Revamp of Gold Monetisation Scheme to Mobilise Idle Gold
India's gem and jewellery industry urges the government to modernise and strengthen the Gold Monetisation Scheme (GMS) to mobilise the vast idle household gold reserves. Industry bodies propose integrating jewellers, establishing bullion banks, and offering tax incentives to reduce gold imports and support livelihoods dependent on the sector. This approach aims to address foreign exchange concerns without curbing domestic demand, following Prime Minister Modi's call to defer gold purchases amid economic pressures.
