It isn\u2019t even a stunning fact because of the high demand for Physical Gold by consumers for the reasons we know, such as jewelry! While that made India import <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/sovereign-gold-bond\/sovereign-gold-bond-vs-gold-etf\/\">Gold<\/a> heavily for its increasing demand, the country&#8217;s finance is at stake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The impact is on the increase in the expenditure on imported goods and services compared to the national income received on exported goods and services. Which is termed a current account deficit in financial terminology. Meaning we are spending more money on importing than making money from exporting. Also for reasons like GDP, fluctuations in the value of the currency, and so on are as well influenced due to the Gold import. In general, the economy is adversely affected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does the Government have control over the demand from consumers? Well, they have no choice but to restrain the Gold import. Concerning that two schemes came into the act \u201cSovereign Gold Bond\u201d and \u201cGold Monetization Scheme\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>After all, it\u2019s a matter of curbing 12% of the gold import from the total import bill in India!\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_did_the_Sovereign_Gold_Bond_come_into_the_act\"><\/span><strong>When did the Sovereign Gold Bond come into the act?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was in 2015 when the Government of India brought the Sovereign Gold Bond to the attention of investors in India under the Gold Monetization Scheme. Investors generally lean on the physical yellow metal \u201cGold\u201d but aren\u2019t aware that it can also be bought through Sovereign Gold Bond which is offered by the Reserve Bank of India on behalf of the Government of India.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Physical Gold storage needs some additional cost to be paid to the banks, the safety of the precious metal is another big concern. The Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme makes investment in Gold easier while having to carry paper as your investment security rather than the Physical Gold itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_current_trend_of_being_invested_in_Physical_Gold\"><\/span><strong>The current trend of being invested in Physical Gold\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian householders have amassed with 23,000 tonnes of Gold altogether and thus get its name as \u201cThe largest holders of the gold metal\u201d as per WGC (World Gold Council). Regardless of the benefits of the Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme, people are invested in Physical Gold. Though with multiple efforts to reduce import bills through schemes, the possession of this commodity or an asset isn\u2019t decreasing anytime soon. Currently, the Global Gold Market size is<\/span> <b>$163.9 billio<\/b><b>n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the Indian Gold Market size is at the US $15 billion and is expected to grow!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Sovereign_Gold_Bond\"><\/span><strong>What is Sovereign Gold Bond?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As per the Government Security Act 2006, Sovereign Gold Bonds are delivered as commodities being offered with holding certificates. That being said, Sovereign Gold Bonds are Sovereign Guaranteed which means, in case of default by the primary obligor, one can rest assured that your investment is safeguarded by the Government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sovereign Gold Bonds are issued with multiple units of gold starting with a minimum investment of 1 gram and going up to a maximum of 4 kgs of investment for an individual in the fiscal year. It offers an interest of about 2.50% which is paid semi-annually having a tenure of 8 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be sold on the dates of interest paid during the 5th or 6th or 7th year as you choose to exit. So with lower market volatility and fluctuations, this is said to be a secured investment to make. With a minimum investment of the price of 1 gram of gold as in the current market, the Sovereign Gold Bond can be yours. The point to be noted is that interest gained on the Sovereign Gold Bond is taxable under Income Tax Act. The locking period of the bond is 5 years after which you are free to sell them in the secondary market but before which it is taxable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The redemption price of the Sovereign Gold Bond is such that it considers the average price of the 999 Gold purity in the last 3 working days and that\u2019s the price which will be redeemed on selling the bond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the comparison table to know the differences between Sovereign Gold Bonds and Physical Gold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4586\" src=\"https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/07100323\/Sovereign-Gold-Bond-1-e1665137241803.png\" alt=\"Sovereign Gold Bond\" width=\"586\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/07100323\/Sovereign-Gold-Bond-1-e1665137241803.png 1024w, https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/07100323\/Sovereign-Gold-Bond-1-e1665137241803-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/07100323\/Sovereign-Gold-Bond-1-e1665137241803-768x345.png 768w, https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/07100323\/Sovereign-Gold-Bond-1-e1665137241803-585x263.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_difference_between_Corporate_Bond_and_Government_Bond\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/essentials\/bond-market\/difference-between-corporate-and-governments-bonds\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_Sovereign_Gold_Bond\"><strong>What is the difference between Corporate Bond and Government Bond?<\/strong><\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_consider_investing_in_Gold_bonds\"><\/span><strong>Why consider investing in Gold bonds?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Interest_Payment\"><\/span><strong>1.

Tax Benefits<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While all the <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bonds<\/a> are susceptible to tax deductions, the sovereign bonds have some benefits to offer in that regard. Sovereign Bonds are free from TDS. This means the tax you pay on every interest is not applicable. And in case of redeeming it before maturity, one can transfer it and even gain benefits of indexation where the capital gain can be adjusted for the inflation rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And in case of redeeming it after <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/essentials\/bond-market\/what-is-the-maturity-date\/\">maturity<\/a> then the gains are exempted from the tax. The point to consider is that the income tax needs to be filed though.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Low_Risk_and_convenience\"><\/span><strong>3. Low Risk and convenience\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the security is backed by the Reserve Bank of India, there is zero probability that the issuer defaults. Though Physical Gold is a choice of investors, the convenience of investing in Gold and digitizing the process of owning it is more convenient than holding Physical Gold. The holding certificate ensures that you own the securities (Gold) involved in the investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Capital_Appreciation\"><\/span><strong>4.

Hedge against inflation\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To accumulate wealth, Gold investments are the safest investment to make as the demand for it is excessively high, it can even beat the inflation rates when invested in it for a longer time. As known when the inflation rate increases, the value of the currency depreciates while the Gold value on the other hand works inversely. Meaning the value of Gold increases. That\u2019s the reason why being invested in Gold is a savior at times when there is an economic crisis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Long-term_investment\"><\/span><strong>6.

While the equity or the stocks are at the peak of downward movement, the gold commodity appears to play a positive trend. Thus, when the stocks aren\u2019t in favor, Gold can turn the portfolio either by nullifying the losses or by keeping the portfolio on the positive side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Loan_facility\"><\/span><strong>8.

And in the case of trusts and corporations, they can hold up to 20 kgs of gold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risk_of_investing_in_Gold_Bonds\"><\/span><strong>Risk of investing in Gold Bonds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The risks in SGB are the bare minimum and hardly something to consider as a risk. Yet it is contemplated so that the investors know.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Loss_of_capital\"><\/span><strong>1. Loss of capital\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is known that the price of these bonds is related to the price of gold. The investment might seem viable when the market is bullish and the capital invested gets appreciated but it&#8217;s riskier when the market is on a downtrend which indicates that the capital depreciates and that&#8217;s when you lose the money from the capital as the selling price is lesser than the buying price. But RBI ensures that the price of the commodity is stable and is not fluctuating more. Hence the probability of capital loss is not the usual case and is mostly rare, unlike stocks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Long_maturity\"><\/span><strong>2. Long maturity\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The time for sovereign gold bond maturity is 8 years which is quite a long time to be invested in and until the lock-in period, the bond is not redeemable. It is indeed a frustrating thing to be in but 5 &#8211; 8 years is kept so that the volatility of the gold price is in control during that time to avoid incurring losses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparison_between_gold_and_equity\"><\/span><strong>Comparison between gold and equity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The chart below shows the return on a longer time frame for a greater understanding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4587\" src=\"https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/07100834\/Return-comparission.png\" alt=\"Comparison between gold and equity\" width=\"347\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/07100834\/Return-comparission.png 1024w, https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/07100834\/Return-comparission-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/07100834\/Return-comparission-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/07100834\/Return-comparission-585x439.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the thought process is such that Gold is a permanent wealth and has aided in passing troubles in history, conclusively a savior at the bad times, then investing a portion in Sovereign Gold Bonds must be an ideal thing over carrying physical gold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the longer term, Gold doesn&#8217;t really perform as well as equity.\u00a0 Though for the short term it seems attractive as the investment seems worthy only when there is someone else to pay you more when you are selling. In the long run, it might not work the same where the returns will be lesser than that of the equity. That is a fact that gold as an asset isn&#8217;t adding any value to economic activity. So, for wealth creation gold is definitely not the right investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_a_nutshell\"><\/span><strong>In a nutshell!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In times of financial stress in the economy, Gold has served as an alternative to currency. Generally, the perspective exists amongst the population that Gold is as equivalent to stocks for getting higher returns, however, which is not. Gold is an unproductive asset that has no impact on the growth of the economy and hence perceiving it as currency makes more sense to be invested in it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back in time, Gold was used like money before even paper currency came into play. And considering it as a currency still holds good as it doesn\u2019t influence the economy in any way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make significant returns in short term it is still a good investment. With that being said, including 5-10% of your portfolio with Gold investment is a good way to stay up with inflation risks, as known when money loses its value, gold makes its stride to keep you in a better position, financially. So why not consider investing in Sovereign Gold Bond than just purchasing the Physical Gold to keep it in the locker?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Government_Bonds\"><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/essentials\/bond-market\/government-bonds-should-you-invest-where-to-buy\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_Sovereign_Gold_Bond\">What are Government Bonds?<\/a><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mayhem about whether to invest in Physical Gold or Sovereign Gold Bonds is absolutely intelligible.
