What are Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs)?

SGBs are government securities denominated in grams of gold. They are issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on behalf of the Government. They serve as a safe, paper-based alternative to purchasing physical gold assets.

What is the maturity period and premature exit rules for SGBs?

SGBs carry a final maturity tenure of 8 years. However, premature exit or redemption options are offered by the RBI after the 5th year, payable on interest distribution dates. Alternatively, if held in Demat form, you can trade or sell SGBs on stock exchanges anytime.

How is the price of SGB calculated?

The purchase and redemption price of SGBs is determined by averaging the simple closing prices of 999 purity gold published by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association Limited (IBJA) during the three business days preceding the subscription/redemption period.
