SGB Redemption Process
Redemption Amount: Upon maturity, the Gold Bonds will be redeemed in Indian Rupees. The redemption price will be calculated based on the simple average of the closing price of 999 purity gold for the previous 3 business days, as published by the India Bullion and Jewelers Association Limited.
Redemption Payment: Both the interest earned and the redemption amount will be directly credited to the investor’s bank account linked to the bond.
Redemption Procedure: Investors will receive a notification one month before the maturity date. On the maturity date, the proceeds will be automatically credited to the registered bank account. Any changes in account details, such as bank account number or email address, must be communicated to the concerned bank/SHCIL/PO promptly.
SGB Early Redemption Process – How To Apply
While the bond tenure is 8 years, investors can choose to redeem their bonds prematurely after 5 years from the issue date on any coupon payment date.
Investors seeking premature redemption must approach their respective bank/SHCIL office/Post Office/agent 30 days prior to the coupon payment date. The request will be processed only if submitted at least one day before the coupon payment date.
Tradability: Bonds held in demat form can be traded on exchanges and transferred to eligible investors.
For detailed information, investors are advised to refer to the Consolidated Procedural Guidelines on the Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) Scheme issued by the Reserve Bank of India.
