DATA SOURCE
India Silver Price Methodology
This page explains exactly where the benchmark comes from, how units are converted, how daily movement is calculated and how city pages are labelled.
National benchmark
The India silver benchmark displayed on this site is sourced from the India Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA) Silver 999 daily market rate. IBJA publishes opening and closing rates on trading days. When a new PM figure is available it becomes the latest session; when only the AM figure has been published, the page labels it as an AM update rather than presenting it as a closing rate.
Update frequency and stale-data protection
The site keeps the last verified successful benchmark when a newer source check fails or when IBJA has not yet published a new session. It does not replace a valid value with an error, an invalid number or an older session. Saturdays, Sundays and non-publishing days are skipped when identifying the previous verified session.
Weight conversion
All weight values are derived from one Silver 999 per-gram benchmark. Ten grams equals the per-gram value multiplied by 10, 100 grams multiplies it by 100, 250 grams by 250 and one kilogram by 1,000. One tola is calculated using 11.6638038 grams.
Purity conversion
Purity estimates use the selected fineness divided by 999. A 925 estimate is therefore the Silver 999 metal value multiplied by 925/999. This is a metal-value calculation, not a promise that a retailer will use the same pricing method for a finished product.
City pages
A verified local retail figure is shown only when a reliable city-specific source exists. Until then, each city page labels the displayed amount as the India Silver 999 national reference. The site does not invent local premiums or present a mathematically adjusted number as a verified city market rate.
Taxes, making charges and calculator results
The IBJA benchmark is shown before 3% GST and making charges. The calculator can add user-entered making charges and GST to help estimate a possible purchase amount. Final invoices can include other product-specific costs, so calculator results remain informational.
