916 fineness and the 22K shopping reference
The 916 fineness mark is commonly associated with 22K jewellery. Mathematically, 22/24 is about 91.67%; 916 means 916 parts of gold per thousand. This page models 916-labelled jewellery with the current 22K shopping reference: ₹14,770 per gram (Kalyan-anchored GoldJaanch reference rate, collected 28 Aug 2026, 17:23 IST — see the source table) · 10 g: ₹1,47,700.
How to read the hallmark on 916 jewellery
For jewellery sold as BIS-hallmarked, check the required marks and verify the HUID before paying:
- The BIS triangle logo, from the government standards body.
- 916, a fineness mark commonly associated with 22K jewellery.
- A 6-character HUID code, unique to your piece. You can verify it in the official BIS Care app before paying.
KDM describes an older soldering method; it is not a purity certificate. Hallmarking rules also contain exemptions, so do not treat a missing HUID as proof by itself. Registry rule IN_BIS_HALLMARK_JEWELLERY v1, effective 2026-08-21. Check the current requirements and jeweller registration on the official BIS website.
