Gold and silver prices in the country vary from state to state due to VAT or value added tax. Domestic jewellery prices are arrived at by taking into account factors such as excise duty and making charges.
International silver prices jumped 5 per cent to touch the $25.81 mark, their highest since April 2013 - a gain of almost a third in seven sessions. Investors wagered the Federal Reserve would reaffirm its super-easy policy outlook this week, and a tolerance for higher inflation.
Gold prices also climbed to $1,975 an ounce, having climbed $160 in just six sessions.
