Can I still buy a new Sovereign Gold Bond in 2026?

No. The last Sovereign Gold Bond tranche was issued in February 2024, and the government confirmed around Budget 2025 that it had no plans for fresh tranches. You can only buy existing SGBs on the secondary market via NSE or BSE, which changes the tax treatment — the redemption exemption now applies only to original subscribers holding continuously to maturity.

Is digital gold safe in India?

Digital gold is legal to buy but unregulated. SEBI's advisory of 8 November 2025 stated that digital gold and e-gold products are neither notified as securities nor regulated as commodity derivatives, sit outside SEBI's purview, and carry counterparty and operational risk with no statutory investor protection. SEBI recommended Gold ETFs, gold exchange-traded commodity derivatives and Electronic Gold Receipts as regulated alternatives.

How much GST do I pay when I buy gold jewellery?

3% GST on the value of the gold and 5% GST on the making charges, billed as separate lines. This applies to all purities — 18K, 22K and 24K alike. The GST Council left gold unchanged in the September 2025 GST 2.0 rationalisation. Ask for an invoice that splits the two components; a single 3% line on the total is incorrect billing.

What is the tax on selling gold in India?

Long-term capital gains on gold are taxed at 12.5% without indexation. Short-term gains are added to your income and taxed at your slab rate. The holding period for long-term treatment is 12 months for listed gold ETF units bought on or after 1 April 2025, and 24 months for physical gold, jewellery, digital gold and gold fund-of-funds.

Gold ETF or gold mutual fund — which is better?

A listed gold ETF is cheaper and reaches long-term tax treatment in 12 months instead of 24, but it needs a demat and trading account and you buy at market prices during trading hours. A gold fund-of-fund needs no demat account and supports SIPs, but adds a layer of expense, may carry an exit load within a year, and needs 24 months for long-term treatment. If you have a demat account and can invest lump sums, the ETF usually wins on cost.

How do I check whether my gold jewellery is genuine?

Look for three marks: the BIS logo, the purity grade (for example 22K916 or 18K750) and the six-digit alphanumeric HUID. Enter the HUID into the BIS Care app, which will show the registered jeweller and the certified purity. Hallmarking has been mandatory for gold jewellery sold in India since June 2021, so an unhallmarked piece from a retail shop is a reason to walk away.

How much of my portfolio should be in gold?

Most Indian advisers work with a strategic allocation between 5% and 15%, sized to the role gold plays — a diversifier that tends to behave differently from equity, not a growth engine. The specific number depends on your goals, horizon and other holdings, so treat any published range as a starting point for a conversation with a SEBI-registered investment adviser rather than a recommendation.

Why did the government stop issuing Sovereign Gold Bonds?

As gold prices rose sharply, the government's redemption liability rose with them, making SGBs an expensive form of borrowing compared with ordinary government securities. Officials also noted the scheme had not achieved its original aim of reducing physical gold imports. Both reasons were cited publicly around Budget 2025.

Is buying gold coins better than jewellery for investment?

Coins are better than jewellery on cost — minting charges are typically far lower than jewellery making charges, and purity is usually 24-carat — but they still carry 3% GST at purchase and a buy-sell spread at exit, and you still need to store and insure them. For a purely financial gold allocation, a gold ETF or gold fund is cheaper than either. Coins make sense if you specifically want to hold the metal.

What is an Electronic Gold Receipt (EGR)?

An EGR is a SEBI-regulated instrument representing physical gold held with a registered vault manager, traded on the exchange. EGRs were notified as securities in December 2021 and are governed by the SEBI (Vault Managers) Regulations, 2021; BSE launched its EGR segment in October 2022 and NSE followed. The minimum trade size is 100 milligrams, and holders can request conversion into physical gold through their broker or depository participant, subject to 3% GST and delivery charges. Traded volumes remain small relative to gold ETFs.
