RBI Schedules October 2026 Premature Redemption for Four SGB Tranches

Some people who own older Sovereign Gold Bonds can ask to receive their money before the bonds’ full eight-year term ends.

The Reserve Bank of India has listed four bonds that can be redeemed in October 2026.

Each bond has a different date for submitting the request.

The earliest deadline is 5 October 2026.

Investors should check their bond’s series and issue date in their demat account or holding statement.

The amount paid is linked to recent gold prices, not necessarily the original purchase price.

This early redemption process is different from selling the bond on a stock exchange.

Investors should also note that the tax exemption may now depend on keeping the bond until its normal maturity date.
