What are SGBs?

SGBs are a financial instrument introduced by the Government of India to provide individuals the opportunity to invest in gold without physically owning it. They are issued in multiple tranches throughout the year and carry a specific tenor, usually ranging from 8 to 12 years. SGBs offer a return linked to the price of gold and provide investors with an assured interest rate of 2.50% per annum.

Benefits of SGBs

Tax implications of
SGBs

Interest earned on SGBs is taxable as per the income tax slab of the investor. However, capital gains arising at maturity are exempt from capital gains tax. In case of a premature exit from the investment, capital gains tax may be applicable as per prevailing tax regulations.
