What has Supreme Court said about the 500-gram gold limit for married women?

The Supreme Court has clarified that the 500-gram gold jewellery limit for married women is a guideline against seizure during income-tax searches, not an ownership limit. Married women can legally own more gold if acquired lawfully. However, in corruption cases, the accused must still show how the gold was acquired, the court said. The protection from seizure remains in place.
