The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced that investors holding the Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) 2019-20 Series-V can redeem their bonds early on April 15, 2026. This option is available after five years from the issue date, which was October 15, 2019. The redemption price has been fixed at ₹15,009 per unit, calculated based on the average closing gold prices over the three business days preceding the redemption date. Investors who purchased the bonds at ₹3,738 per gram can expect significant profits; for instance, holding 10 units would yield a total redemption value of ₹1,50,090, resulting in a profit of ₹1,12,710. The SGB offers an interest rate of 2.50% per annum, paid semi-annually for eight years, and while the interest earned is taxable, capital gains from redemption are exempt from tax.
