Silver Nisab for Zakat 2026
Calculated at the current rate of Rs. 7,500 per tola, the Nisab threshold for silver (52.5 tolas) stands at Rs. 393,750 for today, May 02, 2026. This is the minimum value of assets required to make Zakat applicable.
Steady Market Sentiment: The silver market in Pakistan is currently in a “cooling-off” phase. After reaching heights of over Rs. 9,500 in late April, the price has corrected and stabilized at Rs. 7,500. This sideways movement suggests that the local market is waiting for new global triggers.
Global Shortage vs. Local Demand: Internationally, silver is facing a supply squeeze due to its massive use in green energy tech like solar panels. In Pakistan, this global strength is being balanced by a slightly stronger Rupee, keeping the domestic Chandi rate from spiking further today.
Investment Advice: For many middle-class families in Lahore and Karachi, silver has become a “safe haven” alternative to gold, which has become historically expensive. Buying at the current Rs. 7,500 mark is considered a strategic entry point by many local analysts.
