How can people check gold purity as Akshaya Tritiya nears?

With gold buying expected to rise during Akshaya Tritiya, consumers can verify authenticity by checking the BIS logo, karat purity and the hallmark unique identification (HUID) number. The piece can be verified using the BIS Care App. Buyers can also use a magnet test, as pure gold is non-magnetic. Purchasing gold is considered auspicious on this day.
