# J&K notifies Legal Metrology Rules to boost Ease of Doing Business 2026-08-07T22:05:18+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Greater Kashmir reports that the Jammu & Kashmir government has notified the J&K Legal Metrology (Enforcement) Rules, 2026, replacing old manufacturing, dealer and repairer licences with registration certificates. Businesses no longer need to renew these certificates, and the mandatory inspection before issuing a registration has been removed. The rules also mandate special accuracy weighing instruments for precious metals, prescribe verification fees for different categories of weights and measures, and fix compounding fees for offences under the 2009 Legal Metrology Act. Officials say the reform builds on the Jan Vishwas Act and the J&K Single Window System, and is meant to simplify compliance while strengthening consumer enforcement. ## Coverage - greaterkashmir.com Tags: business regulation, consumer protection, Ease of Doing Business, Government Notifications, Jammu & Kashmir, legal metrology Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/jk-notifies-legal-metrology-rules-to-boost-ease-of-doing-business/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
