As per the SGB scheme guidelines, "The redemption price shall be fixed in Indian Rupees on the basis of the previous week's (Monday - Friday) simple average closing price for gold of 999 purity, published by India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA)."
How much is the increase and how much an investor will earn
Assume that an investor obtained 35 grams of gold during the initial SGB offering. The investment amount is equal to Rs 91,000 because it was made at a cost of Rs 2,600. With a maturity price of Rs 6271 per gram, the investor will receive Rs 219,485.
Without considering the interest on SGB, the returns have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.63%. One will receive a return of 141% if interest earned on the SGB is not taken into consideration.
Interest rate on SGB
Sovereign Gold Bonds include a set annual interest rate of 2.75 percent based on the initial investment, starting from the date of issue. Currently, interest rate is lowered to 2.5 percent.
What happens after SGB matures in 8 years?
The interest and maturity will be credited to the bank account when the SGBs mature after eight years.
When will SGB interest be credited
The investor's bank account will be credited with interest on a semi-annual basis, and the final interest payment will be due together with the principal at maturity.
SGB details
Every financial year, the RBI announces the issuance of SGB tranches. As of now, an investor is limited to 4 kg per individual each financial year, with a minimum investment of 1 gram. A person must indicate in the application form how much they wish to invest in order to make an investment. The quantity of gold invested is determined by the RBI's indicated issuance price. The balance amount is refunded to the investor's bank account.
Taxation
The interest on Gold Bonds is taxable under the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961). Individuals are excluded from paying capital gains tax when redeeming SGBs. Indexation benefits will apply to long-term capital gains emerging from bond transfers.
