  "account": "Silver prices at India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) fell on Dhanteras, Friday, November 6, 2026, as buyers found the white metal at a lower rate than the previous day's evening price. Those looking to buy silver coins, bars, utensils, or jewellery for the upcoming festive season should check the current rate before heading to a store.\n\nThe IBJA indicates that the price of 999-purity silver jewellery was Rs 1,81,863 per kg on Dhanteras, down from Rs 1,87,300 per kg on November 5. This means silver became cheaper by around Rs 5,437 per kg in just one day.\n\nIBJA's silver rate has been reviewed since November 2, 2026. On November 4, the price was Rs 1,86,133 per kg, on November 3 it was Rs 1,76,425 per kg, and on November 2, it was Rs 1,79,972 per kg.\n\nPotential silver buyers should consider a few things before purchasing silver jewellery during Dhanteras and Diwali. The IBJA rate is not the final price a jeweller may quote, as it may also include Goods and Services Tax (GST), making charges, and other applicable costs.\n\nIt is also important to note that silver hallmarking is not mandatory in India. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) introduced voluntary hallmarking for silver jewellery in October 2005. This system, known as HUID hallmarking, aims to improve traceability and is similar to the gold hallmarking system. Hallmarking charges for silver range from Rs 35 to Rs 150 per article, with an additional BIS levy of Rs 3.50 to Rs 15 per consignment. Additional taxes may also apply.",
