Best POS for a jewellery shop in Mumbai
Last reviewed 2026-08-05 · by the RetailPOS team
Jewellery retail is unlike any other vertical: inventory is high-value, individually identified, and priced off a rate that moves daily. A generic POS that counts SKUs cannot do this. Here is what to insist on in Mumbai, and where RetailPOS lands.
What a Mumbai jewellery POS must do
1. Per-piece serial tracking. Every item is unique — weight, metal, purity, certificate number, HUID. The POS must track pieces individually, not as fungible stock counts.
2. Rate-based pricing.Price = metal weight × current rate + making charges + stone value + GST. The POS should compute this from the day's gold/silver rate, not a fixed tag.
3. Hallmark / HUID records. BIS hallmarking and HUID are mandatory; the POS should store and print these against each sale.
4. GST e-invoicing. Above the turnover threshold, e-invoices with IRN + QR are required. The POS should generate them, not force manual entry on the portal.
5. Old-gold exchange & multi-store. Buy-back / exchange against new purchases, and one view across a Zaveri Bazaar shop plus suburban branches.

Where RetailPOS fits — and where it doesn’t
Pick RetailPOS if you want serialised per-piece inventory, GST e-invoicing and multi-store in one modern, flat-priced cloud product that also works offline.
Look elsewhere if you need deep karigar (workshop) job-work management, BIS hallmarking-centre workflows, or bullion-desk features — some legacy jewellery-specific suites go deeper there. RetailPOS covers retail sale, exchange and compliance rather than manufacturing.
Frequently asked
- Can it price on the daily gold rate?
- Yes — pieces can be priced from metal weight and the current rate plus making charges and stone value, rather than a static tag price.
- Does it track each piece separately?
- Yes. Jewellery is tracked per piece with its weight, metal, purity and certificate/HUID, so you can look any item up by serial.
- Does it generate GST e-invoices?
- Yes — for retailers above the e-invoicing turnover threshold it produces invoices with IRN and QR. See the GST e-invoicing guide.
