Nisab Today in INR
The live zakat threshold in Indian Rupee, from today's gold and silver prices (2026-08-13).
The classical Indo-Pak figures of 7.5 tola gold / 52.5 tola silver correspond to the alternate 87.48 g / 612.36 g standard — both are legitimate scholarly conversions.
How to use these numbers
If your zakatable wealth in Indian Rupee — cash in INR, gold and silver, money owed to you, and business inventory — stays at or above the nisab for one full lunar year, zakat of 2.5% is due. Most scholars recommend checking against the lower silver figure (117,850 INR today) so that zakat reaches more people.

Frequently asked questions
What is the nisab in INR today?+
Using the gold standard (85 g of pure gold), today's nisab is about 1,135,348 INR. Using the silver standard (595 g) it is about 117,850 INR. Figures refresh daily with metal prices and the INR exchange rate.
Gold or silver standard — which should I use?+
Most scholars recommend the silver nisab because it is lower — zakat becomes due sooner and more of the poor benefit. The gold standard is also valid.
Why does the nisab in Indian Rupee change?+
Two moving parts: the global gold/silver price, and the INR exchange rate. Both update daily, so a nisab figure published months ago can be far off — this page always shows today's value.
