Reduction in duty on raw materials would give the much-needed boost to the sector and help it to move to the next level.&#8221;<\/h4>\n<h4>According to him, the high duty structure on precious metals had made the exports uncompetitive in the past few years.<\/h4>\n<h4>&#8220;A large part of Indian diaspora\/NRI, moved to Dubai, Hong Kong, or other centres to buy jewellery which was largely impacting the employment as well as business in India,&#8221; he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>Shah also believes that the decrease of import duty on jewellery findings to 10 per cent will help the jewellery manufacturer exporters in a big way.<\/h4>\n<h4>\u201cAnother relief for the industry was the clarification on Equalisation Levy. What we understand that from the budget is that Online Equalisation Levy of 2 per cent is now not applicable on B2B purchases from International Diamond Auctions. This will help our manufacturers of diamonds to buy directly from miners. Sincere thanks to Hon\u2019ble FM for this relief,\u201d he added.<\/h4>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1949 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/jewelpedia.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sachin-Jain-Budget-Quote.png\" alt=\"Budget 2021 Gems and Jewellery\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jewelpedia.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sachin-Jain-Budget-Quote.png 600w, https:\/\/jewelpedia.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sachin-Jain-Budget-Quote-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/jewelpedia.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sachin-Jain-Budget-Quote-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/jewelpedia.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sachin-Jain-Budget-Quote-420x420.png 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>For Sachin Jain, Managing Director, De Beers India the timely and effective measures taken into consideration by the Finance Minister for the gems and jewellery sector in the Budget &#8216;has struck an optimistic chord in the New Year&#8217;.<\/h4>\n<h4>\u201cImport duty reduction on gold and silver from 12.5 per cent to 7.5 per cent is a step in the right direction and will boost the diamonds, gems and jewellery sector.
