RBI Announces SGB Premature Redemption Calendar for 2025-2026
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released a schedule for investors to cash in their Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) early.
While these bonds typically run for eight years, investors can redeem them after five years.
RBI provides a calendar with specific dates for when bonds are eligible and when investors need to submit their redemption requests.
The redemption value is determined by the current gold price.
The purpose is to let people invest in gold without having the physical metal.
RBI has announced the premature redemption calendar for Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) from October 2025 to March 2026.
Investors can redeem bonds after five years from the issue date.
The redemption value will be based on the average closing price of 999-purity gold for the preceding three working days.
The article provides specific dates for tranches of SGBs eligible for premature redemption, along with the submission windows.
The SGB scheme was launched to offer an investment avenue in gold without physical possession.
