Union Budget 2026–27 | A Manifesto for India’s Jewellery Industry

India’s jewellery industry is more than a trade—it is a cultural legacy, a livelihood ecosystem, and a trusted store of household wealth. As we approach the Union Budget 2026–27, the industry stands ready to partner with the Government in building a stronger, more transparent, and future-ready ecosystem.
The collective voice of the trade, rests on four clear pillars: affordability, liquidity relief, MSME empowerment, and enabling formalisation.
Key expectations from this Budget include:
• Rationalisation of GST on gold & silver jewellery to restore affordability amid rising gold prices
• Working capital relief through ITC refunds or lower GST on essential services
• Clear protection and simplified compliance for MSMEs and karigars—the backbone of the trade
• Immediate rollout of the Tourist GST Refund Scheme to boost global retail competitiveness
• Future-ready measures such as digital gold frameworks and EMI options for hallmarked jewellery
Two practical corrections also deserve urgent attention:
• Revisiting the ₹2 lakh cash purchase limit, which no longer reflects today’s gold prices
• Capital gains tax relief to encourage recycling of domestic gold and reduce import dependency
Union Budget 2026–27 presents an opportunity to align policy with ground realities and unlock sustainable growth for the jewellery industry.
