“World’s largest gold consumer India enacted a law making it mandatory for jewellers to collect a KYC (know your customer) document from every customer purchasing jewellery worth Rs 50,000. India made an amendment to extend the purview of the Prevention of Money Laundering (PML) Act to enforce Know Your Customer norms for retail purchases of gold and precious stones. Indian authorities hope this move will eventually cut down gold imports which is responsible for country’s staggering current account deficit (CAD).”
