Gold Bond Investment 221% Profit


In 2017, investment in gold bonds has now yielded a profit of 221 percent.

The Reserve Bank of India has announced the final price of the gold bond issued in the first phase in the financial year 2017-18, after it is about to mature.

While one gram of gold was priced at Rs 2,951 when it was issued, it has been announced that it will now be priced at Rs 9,486.

This is 221 percent more than the price on the day of issuance. Apart from this, an interest of 2.50 percent has also been paid half-yearly in these eight years.

To reduce the price of gold, the central government introduced the gold bond scheme in 2015.

Under this scheme, one gram of gold was issued in the form of a bond as one unit. Its price was fixed according to the price of 24 carat gold. 

In this situation, the Reserve Bank has said that the gold bond issued on May 12, 2017, which matures on May 12, can be redeemed on May 9 itself, the Reserve Bank said.

It has been informed that Rs 9,486 will be paid per gram.

This price has been determined based on the average price of 24-carat gold on May 28, 29 and May 2 last month.
