What is the difference between 999, 925 and 900 silver?+
The number is purity in parts per thousand. 999 is fine silver, used for investment bars and coins. 925 is sterling silver, 92.5% pure, the standard for jewellery and silverware because the added copper makes it hard enough to wear. 900 is coin silver, historically used in currency and now uncommon.
Why is silver more volatile than gold?+
Silver has a much smaller market and a large share of its demand is industrial — electronics, solar panels and medical use — rather than purely monetary. That mix makes it react to both investment sentiment and the manufacturing cycle, so percentage swings are typically larger than gold in either direction.
What is the gold-to-silver ratio?+
It is how many grams of silver one gram of gold buys. Right now the ratio is about 72:1. Traders watch it as a relative-value gauge: a historically high ratio is often read as silver being cheap against gold, and a low ratio the reverse.
How often does the silver rate change during the day?+
The international benchmark moves continuously while global markets are open, and we refresh our data every few minutes. Local dealers typically revise their board once or twice a day rather than continuously, so a shop quote can lag the live rate by several hours — which is worth knowing if the market has moved sharply since morning.
How much silver do I need before Zakat is due?+
The silver nisab is 612.36 grams, approximately 52.5 tola. If your zakatable wealth meets or exceeds the value of that much silver and has been held for one full lunar year, Zakat is due at 2.5%. Because silver is far cheaper than gold, the silver nisab produces a lower threshold than the gold nisab.
Is silver a good investment?+
That depends entirely on your goals, and this is information rather than advice. Silver has a much lower entry cost than gold, which makes it accessible, but it is more volatile and carries a wider dealer spread in percentage terms. Physical silver also takes far more storage space per rupee of value.
Does the price shown include making charges?+
No. These are bullion rates for the metal itself. Silver jewellery, cutlery and decorative items all carry making charges on top, and those charges are proportionally larger on silver than on gold because the labour cost is similar while the metal cost is far lower.
Why is the MCX silver rate different from the rate shown here?+
MCX quotes silver futures — a wholesale contract for delivery on a future date, priced per kilogram. This page publishes the physical spot-derived retail rate. Futures usually trade slightly above spot because they include the cost of carry, and retail sits above both once import cost, local premium and dealer margin are added. The three track each other but never match exactly.
What is the difference between 999 and 925 silver rates?+

How much will I get for old or scrap silver?+
A dealer pays the bidding rate rather than the asking rate, then adjusts for two things: the assayed purity, which for old or unmarked pieces is often below 925, and the non-silver weight of stones, lacquer and any wax filling in hollow articles. Ask for both the assayed purity and the deducted weight to be shown separately on the receipt.
What is the silver rate in dollars today?+

Is there a silver price chart or graph on this page?+
Yes, once enough genuine daily closes have accumulated. The history table appears after two recorded closes and the trend chart after five. We never pre-populate either with estimated data, so on a newly tracked market they stay hidden until the record is real.
