The connection between film stars and jewellery stores is something that dates back to decades. As a proof to this claim, Kirtlials, one of the leading jewellery showrooms, came out with front page advertisements in reputed dailies, which sported yesteryear heroine Padmini wearing a diamond belt from Kirtilals.

From then to now, many top jewelers across the country had tied up with leading stars to promote their business.

Live Gold Rate in Chennai - Good news: Govt to ease gold curbs

There can be no good news than this for those in gold trade and those who love gold. For, after much consideration and consultation, the Indian government is set to ease its curbs on gold imports.
 
 The Union government and the country's apex bank- Reserve Bank of India- came out with a series of measures to curb gold imports last year.” These measures were taken to bring down India's current account deficit, which touched worrying levels. Thanks to the steps, the CAD has come down, much to the relief of those at the helm of affairs,” sources offering live gold rate in Chennai said.
 
 But still, the government was not so keen at easing the norms, despite representations from various industry bodies and organisations. The industry bodies made these representations since jewellers and others in the trade suffered a lot due to the government's restrictions. Since there were so many curbs on gold imports, the inflow of the precious metal from abroad countries came to a standstill.
 
”This worried jewellery owners and gold sellers a lot, since they were running out of gold to make ornaments. Also since there were restrictions against bullions and gold coins, jewellers felt the pinch and were facing uncertain future,” sources offering live gold rate in Chennai said further.
 
 Following this, based on the inputs from them, the trade bodies and industry organisations made representations to the government to ease norms. But there was no positive signal. However now, Planning Commission member Saumitra Chaudhuri has batted for relaxation in curbs on gold imports citing improved current account deficit (CAD) and joining the growing clamour for easing restrictions on the yellow metal.
 
 Speaking on the side-lines of a CII event, Saumitra Chaudhuri said, "Government had imposed curbs on gold imports in May as a temporary measure. Since it has helped considerably in cutting down trade deficit, I think there will be an end to this either towards the end of this quarter or early next fiscal."
 
Adding value to the voice of Chaudhuri, Economic affairs secretary Arvind Mayaram indicated that the norms would be relaxed after March. He told PTI on Tuesday that the government should not tamper with the existing regime at least for this fiscal, notwithstanding an improvement in the CAD situation.
 
A few days before that, Union Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma said that the gold import norms would be revisited shortly. Speaking on the side-lines of the inaugural event of the Water Health India’s Jaladhara Foundation on the outskirts of Hyderabad, he said, “There is enough availability of gold in the country but we will revisit the import norms. Our effort is to tackle the channel of gold smuggling.”
 
It is to be noted that even Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan too favours doing away with the restrictions. He expressed this opinion, sharing the idea of the Commerce Ministry, which feels that the curbs on gold encourage smuggling.
 
All these opinions by policymakers have made jewellers very happy, and this is expect to make live gold rate in Chennai more attractive in the coming days, indicate experts in the trade.
