Consumers will have to shell out more for jewellery studded with rubies, emeralds and sapphires, as the Budget has proposed to impose a 0.5% basic customs duty on these uncut stones which at present can be imported tax-free. A 0.5% customs duty has also been introduced on rough colored gemstones, rough semi-precious stones, rough synthetic gemstones polished and rough cubic zirconia. The basic customs duty on gold coins has been increased to 12.5% from 10%, keeping it at par with the duty on imported bullion. “This is disappointing for the exporters and gemstone-cutting and polishing trade. Increase in import duty will make these stones costlier,” Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) chairman Pramod Agarwal said.
