What is the benchmark for the price of myDigiSilver? Can MCX be taken as a benchmark?

There is no benchmark for comparing the price of myDigiSilver. MCX cannot be considered as a benchmark, since there are many differences between myDigiSilver and MCX. MCX gives the price of future contracts, which doesn’t give the landed price by factoring in the cost of logistics, insurance, safekeeping, etc. MCX also does not include pan India delivery, and based on the contract, it gives delivery at only a few locations like Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Delhi, etc. myDigiSilver gives delivery across the country, and includes the cost of storage, insurance, trustee fees and gives you the landed, complete price of Silver.

What will happen to the Silver associated with accumulations in my account, in the unlikely event of the company going into liquidation?

As the Silver purchased by you is safely transferred to the SGL vault, the rightful ownership of the Silver purchased by you is solely yours. Furthermore, the Silver is well insured by a third-party reputable Insurance Company. Hence, in any unlikely event of the company going into liquidation, the rightful ownership claim can be made by you for transferring the custody of the silver/value in your account. myDigiSilver shall have the right, whatsoever in this context, to pledge the Silver.

How is the purity (e.g. 99.9%) of silver confirmed or guaranteed?

myDigiSilver specifies that it offers silver of 99.9% purity. The silver is sourced from internationally reputed bullion dealers that meet this standard, and the metal is stored with a global-standard secure logistics and vault provider. The vault operator maintains comprehensive insurance, while myDigiSilver adds cover during transit and dispatch. So each digital unit corresponds to fully insured 99.9% pure silver held in professional custody.

What is the process from placing a silver-buy order to having it reflected in my digital wallet?

You log in, go to the BUY section, and choose whether to buy in rupees or grams. Enter your amount (minimum ₹400 or 3 g), pick a payment method such as debit card or UPI, and confirm. The order is first shown as “Processing.” myDigiSilver states that purchases can take up to 48 working hours to process and then appear as credited grams in your wallet and portfolio statement.

How is the pricing for digital silver determined - based on live silver market rates?

Pricing is based on a live per-gram rate displayed on the site. myDigiSilver explains that it sets daily buy and sell rates using prevailing silver-market prices, along with payment-gateway charges and a nominal commission. When you transact, your quantity in grams is multiplied by this live rate to arrive at the rupee amount. As a retail price including costs, it may differ from wholesale or futures quotations.

Are there any commissions, fees, or GST charges applied when buying or selling digital silver?

When you buy digital silver, the displayed price already includes 3% GST. Payment-gateway charges and a small commission are also built into this rate, so you don’t see them as separate deductions. When you sell silver back, GST is not charged again. Other costs like insurance, logistics and processing are recovered through the difference between the buy and sell prices.

How long does it take for silver purchases to reflect in my account/wallet?

After you place a purchase order and complete payment, the transaction shows under processing. myDigiSilver states that “the silver you purchase will take 48 working hours to process and reflect” in your wallet; until then, it remains in the processing state.

When I sell digital silver, how long until I receive the payment?

Only after successful KYC can you place orders and receive sale proceeds into your verified bank account.

Are there time or quantity limits on how much silver I can transact daily?

There is a minimum purchase of 3 grams (or the equivalent rupee amount), and total silver purchases are capped at ₹6 lakh over the lifetime of your myDigiSilver account, subject to KYC. For selling, the only clearly stated condition is a minimum sell value of ₹300. No additional daily or time-based upper limits are mentioned for sale or redemption beyond these thresholds.

Can I sell or redeem silver anytime - 24×7, or only during business hours?

The homepage tagline says, “Now Buy/Sell/Redeem silver digitally anytime & anywhere. Hassle-Free!” This indicates that online buy, sell and redeem requests can generally be placed 24×7 at live platform rates, not only during store timings. However, physical redemption at Senco showrooms will follow local business hours, and digital access can occasionally pause for scheduled maintenance or technical issues.

What happens if my bank or payment details are incorrect during payout?

If your bank or payment details are incorrect, the payout may fail or get delayed.

Update your correct bank details in your profile and follow the support team’s instructions to get the issue resolved.

Is storage of purchased silver insured - who is responsible for the vaulting?

myDigiSilver notes that your purchased silver is stored securely with 100% insurance coverage. The silver is held in the SGL vault by a global market leader in secure logistics and vault services. That provider maintains a comprehensive insurance policy covering stored silver, while myDigiSilver adds additional insurance for periods when the metal is in transit or when it leaves the vault, ensuring continuous protection.

How does myDigiSilver ensure security and transparency in transactions?

Security is supported through mandatory KYC, safe custody and full insurance.

A dedicated grievance cell and customer-support channels by phone and email are also provided for issues or escalations.

What happens to my silver during the “processing” period (before it reflects in my wallet)?

During the processing period, your order has been placed, and payment has gone through, but myDigiSilver is still completing checks and settlement. The site states that purchases take up to 48 working hours to process and reflect in your wallet. Until then, the transaction appears under processing; once backend allocation finishes, the corresponding grams of 99.9% pure silver show in your wallet balance and portfolio statement.

Is there any lock-in period or cooldown time after buying before I can sell?

Yes, there is a short lock-in period. For security reasons, you can sell your digital silver only after two working days from the date of purchase.

Once those two working days are over and processing is complete, you can freely place sell or redemption requests against that silver.

What are the redemption options - in-store, online, or via third parties?

You can redeem your digital silver at Senco Gold & Diamonds stores across India or online through the Senco website.
