Things to know about
Sovereign Gold Bonds10
Sovereign gold bonds are papers or certificates issued by the
government saying that investors bought a certain amount of gold.
The value of the bond will be linked to the price of gold. The bonds
would provide an alternative to purchasing physical gold.
Objective: The main idea is to reduce the demand for physical gold.
The Government will issue bonds with a nominal rate of interest
(which will be linked to international rate for gold borrowing). An
indicative lower limit of 2% may be given but the actual rate will
have to be market determined.
#1
The price of gold may be taken from NCDEX/ London Bullion
Market Association/RBI & the Rupee equivalent amount may be
converted at the RBI Reference Rate on issue and redemption
#2
Banks/NBFCs/Post Offices may redeem bonds on behalf of
government (for a fee, the amount would be as decided).
#3
Bonds will be issued on behalf of the Government of India by RBI.
#4
The tenor of the bond could be for a minimum of 5 to 7 years so
that it would protect investors from medium term volatility in the
gold prices.
#5
The bonds will be issued in denominations of 2, 5, 10 grams of
gold or other denominations.
#6
Capital gains tax treatment will be the same as for physical gold.
This will ensure that an investor is indifferent in terms of investing
in these bonds and in physical gold- as far as the tax treatment is
concerned. This is still under examination.
#7
The bond would be restricted for sale to resident Indian entities.
The cap on bonds that may be bought by an entity would be at a
suitable level, not more than 500 grams per person per year.
#8
Bonds to be used as collateral for loans. The Loan To Value ratio
be set equal to ordinary gold loan mandated by RBI from time to
time.
#9
Bonds to be easily sold, traded on commodity exchanges. Bonds
to have a sovereign guarantee.
