Here are some top bank websites for information on how to invest in SGBs
Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) are an excellent alternative to physical gold investment. You can experience capital appreciation while simultaneously earning interest on these bonds. The Government of India (GoI) issued these bonds, which minimise numerous hazards associated with physical gold.
On September 11, the latest tranche of the Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme 2023-24 – Series II became available for subscription, and it will remain available until Friday, September 15. The price of one gram of gold is Rs 5,923. For investors who apply online and pay against the application using digital methods, the issuance price of the Gold Bonds would be Rs 50 per gram less than the nominal value.
The bond’s nominal value is based on the simple average of the last three working days of the week preceding the subscription period, that is September 6, 7, and 8, 2023, as published by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd (IBJA).
