India, the world's largest bullion buyer, should mobilize idle gold lying with its citizens to curb imports and lower a record current-account deficit, according to the All India Gems & Jewellery Trade Federation.
"Even if the depositors bring in unaccounted gold, the government should not ask them about the source," the federation's Bamalwa said.
