Overview
- The tranche matured on December 4, 2025, exactly eight years after its December 4, 2017 issue under the government’s notification.
- The redemption price was computed from the simple average of IBJA 999‑purity gold closing prices over designated business days before maturity.
- Long‑term holders see roughly a 340% price gain versus the Rs 2,911 online issue rate, excluding the 2.5% annual coupon; the official issue price was Rs 2,961.
- RBI will send a maturity intimation about one month prior and credit proceeds to the registered bank account, so investors should ensure their details are updated with their bank, SHCIL or post office.
- Interest is taxable while individual capital gains at redemption are exempt; early exit is allowed after five years on interest payment dates, and fresh SGB issuances have been discontinued.
