Do not take any final decision...yet...I am still checking other Genus...picture matching hunt is still on...!!!
If you check your spider is half silver back. Missing in Mediyansyah's specie.
I verified about 70 Argiope species with pictures...very close to my suggetion...main thing its find in India..!!!
Do not refer only images..colour combination..Leg structure...face shape also to be checked..!!

mediyansyah is pretty close
