We use 7.5 tola (87.48 g) of gold and 52.5 tola (612.36 g) of silver, the figures used in Pakistan and India and in Pakistan's Zakat and Ushr law. Many scholars in the Gulf use 85 g and 595 g, from a different conversion of the dinar and dirham. If your scholar uses those, your nisab is about 3% lower.

Silver nisab

Rs 165,337 (612.36 g, 52.5 tola)

Gold nisab
Rs 2,047,032 (87.48 g, 7.5 tola)

Today's nisab is Rs 165,337 on silver or Rs 2,047,032 on gold. If your savings, gold, silver and business stock together reach the nisab for a full lunar year, zakat is due at 2.5%.
