You’re scrolling through your feed when you spot it: Enishka is offering a flat 25% off on making charges for all silver jewellery. Your first instinct is to screenshot it, head to the store, and shop before the offer disappears.
That instinct is spot on — but before you do, spend two minutes understanding exactly how this discount works. Making charge offers don’t behave the way most shoppers expect, and knowing the mechanics means you walk out getting every rupee of the saving Enishka is offering you.
By the time you finish reading, you’ll know how to calculate your real saving, what your bill must show before you pay, and why this is a genuinely good moment to buy silver.
What Making Charges Actually Are — And Why They Add Up Fast on Silver
When you buy a silver piece, the final price has three components: the metal cost, making charges, and GST. Most buyers focus on the silver rate and overlook making charges — but on silver jewellery, making charges can push the final price anywhere from 10% to 40% above the metal cost alone. On handcrafted or stone-set pieces, that climb is steep.
How Making Charges Are Calculated
Jewellers use two main methods:
- A fixed charge per gram — typically ₹300 to ₹500 per gram
Machine-made pieces like plain silver chains or flat bangles sit at the lower end. Filigree work, temple jewellery, and hand-engraved designs sit at the higher end, reflecting the labour and skill that goes into them.
The method matters more than most buyers realise. A percentage-based making charge rises automatically whenever the silver rate increases — even if the workmanship hasn’t changed at all.
The GST Detail Most Shoppers Miss
Under Indian GST rules, when a discount is given at the time of sale and recorded on the invoice, GST must be calculated on the discounted subtotal — not on the original making charge amount. This is governed by Section 15(3) of the CGST Act.
At Enishka, your bill is structured correctly: the 25% making charge deduction appears as a separate line item above the subtotal, and GST is applied only to the adjusted figure. This is the transparency Enishka brings to every purchase.
What your invoice must show:
- The original making charge amount
- The 25% discount as a separate deduction — above the subtotal
- GST calculated on the discounted subtotal
If you’re ever comparing bills from other jewellers, this is the single most important check to make.
Which Silver Pieces Does the Offer Cover?
Enishka’s 25% off on making charges applies to silver jewellery — the wearable pieces in the collection, from earrings and rings to pendant sets, mangalsutra, and bracelets.
A few categories that are commonly excluded across the industry (and worth confirming at the counter): silver coins, decorative idols, and silver utensils. These are typically classified separately from jewellery for promotional purposes.
The best practice: when you arrive, ask the Enishka team to confirm which pieces qualify before you begin selecting. It’s a 30-second conversation that prevents any surprises at billing.
Is This a Good Time to Buy Silver?
Yes, for two reasons.
First, as of late June 2026, silver is trading around ₹222 per gram — at the lower end of its recent range. A lower metal cost means making charges represent a proportionally higher share of your total bill. That makes a making charge discount more impactful right now than it would be when silver rates are elevated.
Second, Enishka’s offer is time-limited. Making charge promotions of this depth — a full flat 25% — are not permanent fixtures. If a piece has been on your wishlist, this is the window to act.
A Quick Checklist Before You Buy
Before you select your piece:
- Confirm the making charge rate for your specific design (per gram or % of metal cost)
- Ask which items are included in the 25% off offer
- Check the offer’s validity period
At billing:
- The 25% making charge discount must appear as a separate line — above the subtotal
- GST must be calculated on the discounted subtotal, not the original amount
- The final payable amount should match the formula above
Enishka’s billing is itemised by default — metal cost, making charges, and GST are always shown separately, so you see exactly what you’re paying for.
The Bigger Picture
A flat 25% off on making charges is a genuine saving. Its exact value depends on the making charge rate on your chosen piece and the weight of the jewellery — but for any well-crafted silver piece, the saving is real and worth claiming.
Enishka’s philosophy has always been transparent pricing: you see the metal cost, the workmanship, and the tax — not a bundled number that obscures the breakdown. This offer sits within that same ethos. You know what the discount is, you know how it’s applied, and you leave knowing exactly what you paid for.
