Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB): An Alternative to Physical Gold

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: Indian Money Knowledge

Issued by RBI, SGBs let investors earn a fixed interest on the gold’s nominal value, redeemable at market prices upon maturity. Unlike physical gold, there are no storage or making charges, and capital gains are tax-free if held until maturity. Students exploring gold investments can consider SGBs for liquidity and safety. Tracking tranche issuance windows and subscription details ensures they lock in favorable prices, diversifying portfolios with minimal hassles.
