Silver Rate Today in Rajasthan – 7 Nov 2026, 10 PM IST

• Today's silver rate
• Making charges and GST
• Where to buy silver

The figures in the live table are bullion reference rates for Rajasthan, quoted per gram for 999 fine silver and 925 sterling silver, refreshed every business day against MCX and IBJA benchmarks.

Rajasthan's silver demand is shaped by traditional anklets and ornaments worn during Gangaur and Teej, Jaipur's gem trading heritage, and the state's Marwari commercial tradition. This page covers today's rate, making charges and GST, purity verification, where to buy and sell, the buying calendar, taxation and a detailed FAQ.

The weight table converts today's per gram rate into the denominations buyers in Rajasthan transact in, from a single gram through 10 grams, 100 grams and a kilogram, for both 999 and 925 purity.

Investment minded buyers in Jaipur more often buy at the 100 gram level, while traditional anklets and daily wear jewellery purchases across the state typically stay in smaller gram denominations.

Silver jewellery typically attracts a melting or deduction charge of 15 percent or more at resale, which lowers effective returns compared with reselling coins or bars.

Ask any Rajasthan jeweller for their exact deduction policy before selling, since terms vary meaningfully between shops.

A single day's rate tells you very little on its own. The last ten trading sessions show whether today's print sits at the top of a run, at the bottom of a pullback, or somewhere in the middle of a flat stretch.

Silver moves harder in percentage terms than gold on the same piece of news, so a wider range over ten days is normal here than on a gold rate page over the same window.

The trend table sets today's rate against its opening and closing values over seven days, 30 days and 12 months. The shorter windows capture sentiment; the 12 month window captures the structural story, chiefly global industrial demand, ETF investment flows and the gold to silver ratio.

Rajasthan tracks the national IBJA benchmark closely, with local demand shaped by the wedding and festival calendar.

Silver trades continuously in US dollars per troy ounce on COMEX and the London Bullion Market Association benchmark, converts at the prevailing USD to INR rate, and picks up customs duty, cess and GST before reaching Indian retail. Rajasthan's jewellers price against the national IBJA reference rate each morning, sourced largely through Jaipur.

Silver is more industrially exposed than gold nationally, though Rajasthan's own economy, running on tourism, handicrafts and agriculture, means local silver demand here remains largely jewellery and gifting driven.

Real interest rates, the US dollar, industrial demand and investment flows move the international price. The rupee's exchange rate and Indian import duty changes move the local price on top of that.

Locally, wedding season, Gangaur and Teej bring sharp seasonal uplifts in buying across Rajasthan. As gold prices climb, buyers here frequently shift toward silver jewellery and coins as a more accessible substitute.

999 fine silver is 99.9 percent pure and is the form used for investment coins and bars, bought around Dhanteras across Rajasthan.

925 sterling silver, 92.5 percent pure with the remainder mostly copper, is the standard for jewellery, including traditional anklets and ornaments, sold across Rajasthan's retail jewellers. Confirm which purity a quote refers to before comparing shops.

Silver hallmarking became mandatory across India from 1 September 2025, with a six digit HUID marked on each hallmarked piece alongside the BIS Standard Mark and purity grade.

Rajasthan jewellers now routinely distinguish hallmarked from non hallmarked silver pricing, so always ask which category a quoted rate refers to.

The rate shown on this page is the metal price alone. What you pay at the counter adds a making charge, then GST at 3 percent on the combined total of metal value plus making charge.

What making charges typically run

• Silver coins and bars | roughly 3 to 8 percent, close to 999 purity
• Standard jewellery including anklets and bangles | roughly 6 to 20 percent based on the work involved
• Handcrafted traditional pieces | roughly 15 to 25 percent, reflecting traditional craftsmanship

A worked example: a 40 gram silver piece with 12 percent making adds 12 percent to the metal value, then 3 percent GST on that subtotal, for a final bill roughly 15.4 percent above the pure metal value.

Several apps offer digital silver purchases that track the live rate without requiring physical storage, available in Rajasthan the same as anywhere else in India.

Digital silver typically carries a small spread between buy and sell prices, and is best suited to buyers who want price exposure without visiting a jeweller.

Akshaya Tritiya, considered universally auspicious for buying precious metals, sits close to the Gangaur period, adding a further peak to Rajasthan's spring silver buying season.

Together with Teej and wedding season, these give Rajasthan's silver retailers multiple annual peaks to plan stock and staffing around.

Silver buying in Rajasthan follows a calendar shaped by the state's rich festival culture and mainstream national occasions alike.

• Gangaur, spring, when silver anklets and ornaments feature in processions across Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur
• Teej, July or August, a major occasion for women's jewellery buying
• Wedding season, Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya alongside the mainstream national calendar

As gold prices have climbed, a meaningful share of buyers here has shifted toward silver for gifting and savings, following the same national pattern seen across India.

Rajasthan's tourism and craft driven income base means this shift shows up as a genuine mix of lighter weight pieces and continued jewellery purchases, rather than buyers skipping the purchase altogether.

Rajasthan's numerous former princely states historically patronised skilled jewellers and artisans, a legacy still visible in the silver craft traditions practised in Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur today.

The Marwari merchant community's long trading heritage further shaped Rajasthan's organised jewellery and bullion retail over generations.

Traditional Rajasthani attire for Gangaur and Teej processions typically includes silver anklets, or payal, and other ornaments, alongside gold jewellery, giving silver a genuinely visible role in these major festivals.

Jewellers across Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur see a genuine seasonal uplift in silver ornament sales in the weeks leading into these occasions.

Rajasthan's palaces, forts and desert landscapes across Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur and Jaisalmer draw heavy domestic and international tourist traffic, a meaningful share of which browses and buys silver jewellery and craft items as souvenirs and keepsakes.

This tourism economy adds a genuinely distinct layer of demand on top of the state's own resident silver market.

Rajasthan's Marwari community has a genuinely long standing reputation as skilled traders and financiers, a legacy that continues to shape the state's silver retail culture, particularly in Jaipur.

This trading heritage gives Rajasthan's jewellers a genuinely deep base of commercial expertise in bullion sourcing and pricing.

Jaipur's established jewellers, many rooted in generations old craft families, serve the large majority of Rajasthan's silver retail demand, with Udaipur and Jodhpur carrying their own established local jewellers.

What to check wherever you buy

• BIS hallmark and HUID number on the piece
• The day's rate displayed and the making charge quoted as a percentage in writing
• A proper GST invoice carrying weight, purity, rate and making charge

Exchange at an established jeweller, ideally the one who sold it, with the piece weighed and purity tested in front of you. Jaipur's larger jewellers typically offer the most transparent buyback terms given the city's trading volume.

Jewellers commonly quote separate exchange rates for hallmarked and non hallmarked silver, so confirm which rate applies to your specific piece before agreeing to a sale.

Taxes on silver are set nationally, so nothing here is specific to Rajasthan.

At purchase, GST at 3 percent applies on the value of the metal plus making charges. At sale, profit on physical silver held over the qualifying period is taxed as long term capital gains; shorter holdings are taxed at your slab rate. Large cash purchases require PAN above the prescribed threshold.

None of this is tax advice. For a large transaction, confirm current rules with a chartered accountant.

Silver is more volatile than gold day to day, since it carries a genuine industrial demand component nationally alongside its investment role. Coins and bars in 999 purity carry the lowest making cost and recover the most value on resale, while jewellery in 925 purity carries making charges not recovered on resale.

Given Rajasthan's tourism and craft driven economy, silver's investment case here rests as much on its cultural role as on any local industrial demand story.

Silver in India traded around 37,000 to 40,000 rupees per kilogram in 2015 and 2016, and stayed close to that band through 2018 and 2019. The metal rose steadily after the pandemic, crossing 78,000 rupees per kilogram in 2023.

The RBI's annual average for financial year 2024 to 2025 stood at roughly 89,000 rupees per kilogram, and financial year 2025 to 2026 saw an increase of about 82 percent to roughly 1,62,000 rupees per kilogram. Rajasthan's local rates have tracked this national curve throughout.

Over the full decade, an investor holding physical silver from 2015 through 2025 saw their holding value roughly triple.

Unlike gold, over half of global silver demand now comes from industry rather than jewellery or investment, chiefly solar panels, electric vehicles, semiconductors and 5G hardware. Rajasthan's own economy has limited direct exposure to these categories, so local demand remains largely jewellery and craft driven.

India imports over 80 percent of the silver it consumes. In September 2025 the government restricted imports of plain silver jewellery, and in May 2026 raised the import duty on silver bullion, changes that move the domestic price for the whole country independently of the global rate for a period.

The practical approach for most buyers is to purchase against genuine need and timeline rather than trying to time the market.

Silver is more volatile than gold day to day because of its industrial demand component. Over the last decade silver has occasionally outpaced gold in percentage terms during rally phases, though it also falls harder during pullbacks.

Equity markets have historically delivered higher long run returns than precious metals, but with far more volatility. Debt instruments give predictable, lower returns with minimal price risk.

For households here, silver's role spans traditional ornaments, festival gifting and everyday wear, not a replacement for equity or debt.

Physical silver, bought as coins, bars or jewellery from a Rajasthan jeweller, gives you something you can hold, gift or wear, but attracts 3 percent GST, requires safe storage, and jewellery carries making charges not recovered on resale.

Silver ETFs let you hold silver electronically without storage or GST, through a regular demat account. Both physical silver and silver ETFs are taxed the same way, at 12.5 percent on long term capital gains without indexation for holdings over 12 months.

• 999 fine silver: 99.9 percent pure, used for coins and bars
• 925 sterling silver: mixed with copper for strength, the standard for jewellery
• Payal: the traditional Rajasthani silver anklet
• Making charges: the fee a jeweller adds for crafting a piece
• HUID: the unique six digit hallmark identification number
• IBJA: the India Bullion and Jewellers Association, source of the national reference rate

India imports over 80 percent of the silver it consumes, mostly as bullion cleared through customs before reaching refiners and eventually jewellers in Rajasthan through Jaipur.

More than half of global silver demand comes from industry rather than jewellery, but Rajasthan's economy, being largely tourism, handicraft and agriculture based, has limited direct exposure to this industrial demand story, so local retail demand remains jewellery focused.

Silver retail in Rajasthan is shaped decisively by Jaipur's global gem trading role, the state's Marwari merchant heritage, and a rich calendar of festivals including Gangaur and Teej where silver ornaments feature prominently.

This combination gives Rajasthan's silver market a genuinely distinct character among Indian states, blending craft heritage with tourism and trading traditions.

Silver tarnishes when exposed to air and humidity. Keep pieces in an airtight pouch or box, ideally with an anti tarnish strip.

For larger holdings, a bank locker in Jaipur remains the most secure option. Keep your original purchase invoice with your stored silver, since it establishes purity, weight and cost basis if you need to sell or claim insurance later.

If you are in Rajasthan and considering a silver or lab grown diamond jewellery purchase, Lucira offers hallmarked silver and certified lab grown diamond pieces with transparent, itemised pricing and doorstep delivery across India, so you can compare designs and pricing without needing to visit multiple local shops in person.

Every Lucira piece is priced against the live daily rate shown on this page, with making charges and certification costs shown separately.

A proper invoice from a Rajasthan jeweller should show the net silver weight in grams, the purity, the rate applied per gram that day, the making charge, and GST at 3 percent applied on the metal plus making charge combined.

If a piece carries stones, the invoice should state the net silver weight separately from the gross weight. A hallmarked piece should also show the HUID number, verifiable through the BIS CARE app.

Silver and property serve fundamentally different purposes as assets. Property in Jaipur or elsewhere in Rajasthan requires a large upfront commitment and is illiquid. Silver can be bought and sold in small increments and converted to cash within minutes.

Most households here do not choose between the two. Property tends to serve as a long term family asset, while silver serves as a smaller, liquid holding for weddings and gifting.

• A quoted rate below the day's published benchmark, which usually means lower purity than claimed
• Gross weight billed as if it were net silver weight on heavy traditional anklets or ornamental pieces
• Making charges quoted verbally but not itemised on the final bill

Always confirm the current BIS hallmark and HUID independently through the BIS CARE app rather than taking a seller's word for it.

Many jewellers in Rajasthan offer monthly instalment schemes where you deposit a fixed amount each month for around 11 months, with a bonus instalment added at the end, redeemable against jewellery.

Before joining one, confirm in writing whether redemption is locked at deposit day rates or redemption day rates, and check whether the bonus is forfeited if you exit early.

• Jewellery from a local jeweller: wearable and giftable, but making charges reduce resale value
• 999 coins and bars: lowest making cost, best for pure savings
• Silver ETFs: no storage or GST, held in a demat account

Most households here use a mix, wedding and festival silver bought for its cultural role, and coins, bars or ETFs bought purely as savings.

Under the rules applicable for financial year 2025 to 2026, profit on physical silver or silver ETFs held for more than 12 months is taxed as long term capital gains at 12.5 percent without indexation. Holdings sold within 12 months are taxed at your income tax slab rate.

Your gain is calculated as the sale price minus your original purchase cost, including making charges, which is why keeping your original invoice matters. Confirm current rules with a chartered accountant before a large sale.

Unlike gold, there is no prescribed ceiling on how much silver an individual can hold in India, provided it is acquired through disclosed, taxed income and you can produce invoices if asked.

Cash payments for a single silver purchase above the prescribed threshold require your PAN card, and payments above two lakh rupees in cash for a single transaction are not permitted regardless of PAN.

Jaipur remains the most important reference point for silver pricing in Rajasthan, with Udaipur and Jodhpur carrying their own established local jewellers.

For any significant purchase, comparing making charges across at least two shops is a reasonable and common practice.

Both established local jewellers, particularly craft specialists in Jaipur, and national chains are present across Rajasthan.

This gives buyers genuine choice between long standing craft heritage jewellers and standardised national retail depending on preference.

Rajasthan's numerous former princely states historically patronised skilled silversmiths and artisans, a legacy still visible in the traditional anklet and ornament craft practised across the state today.

This royal heritage gives Rajasthan's silver jewellery retail a genuinely distinctive craft identity compared with most other Indian states.

Wedding season demand for silver ornaments and gifting items peaks in Rajasthan alongside gold, with Rajasthani weddings known nationally for elaborate, multi day celebrations.

Jewellers typically stock their widest festive range in the weeks leading into this window, alongside their Gangaur and Teej preparations.
