\ud83d\udcdd Summary:<\/div>\n

<\/span>Premature redemption through the RBI is generally better because it offers a higher, guaranteed exit price and tax exemption. Stock exchanges provide instant liquidity but often suffer from low trading volumes, which can force you to sell at a discount, in addition to attracting capital gains tax<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Sovereign Gold Bond investors have got two ways to exit before maturity: You can either go for premature redemption via the RBI, or just sell those bonds on the stock exchange. This is particularly relevant in 2026, with a bunch of SGB tranches from 2020-21 hitting the 5-year mark and becoming eligible for early redemption. Each option has its own perks, and choosing one depends on your timing, how urgently you need cash, and how long you’ve been holding on. <\/p>
