Compliance & Risk Management

• Ensure compliance with BIS hallmarking, GST, customs, and precious metal trade regulations related to storage, movement, and dispatch
• Maintain documentation for statutory, quality, and financial audits
• Manage risk related to theft, material loss, quality deviations, and in-transit security
