Silver Price Trend Chart
Silver Nisab for Zakat 2026
Calculated at the current rate of Rs. 7,906 per tola, the Nisab threshold for silver (52.5 tolas) stands at Rs. 415,065 for today, May 05, 2026. If your wealth exceeds this amount, Zakat may be applicable.
Correction in Trend: Today’s rate of Rs. 7,906 indicates a minor correction in the Pakistani silver market. After staying stable at Rs. 7,980 for the last few days, the price has softened slightly, providing an entry window for buyers.
Industrial Demand: Silver continues to outperform many other assets in 2026 due to its industrial necessity. Global shortages in the tech and solar sectors are keeping a high floor on the local Chandi rate, preventing it from crashing despite domestic economic shifts.
Investment Outlook: For small-scale investors in Pakistan, silver remains the “poor man’s gold.” With current rates hovering near the Rs. 8,000 mark, analysts see silver as a strong hedge against inflation for the remainder of the quarter.
