In Sovereign Gold Bonds, the investor does not get gold in physical form. It is safer than physical gold. Gold Bond Certificate is given to those who invest in it. After the completion of maturity, when the investor goes to redeem it, he gets money equal to the gold value of the time. Its rate is fixed on the average closing price of the last three days. The interest is paid to the investor at the pre-determined rate during the bond period.

As far as purity is concerned, its accuracy cannot be doubted due to its electronic form. After three years, it will attract long-term capital gains tax (capital gains tax will not be levied till maturity), while you can use it for loans. If you talk about redemptions, you can redeem it anytime after five years.

You can buy up to 4 kg of gold in a financial year. The government also gives you 2.5 percent interest annually in gold bonds. That is, apart from the rising prices of gold, you also get interest separately.
