“The redemption price of SGB shall be based on the simple average of closing price of gold of 999 purity of the week (Monday-Friday), preceding the date of redemption, as published by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association Limted (IBJA),” it stated.

The SGBs 2016-17 Series IV issued on March 17, 2017 as per the Union Government’s Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme are repayable on the expiration of eight years from the date of issue of the Gold Bonds. “Accordingly, the final redemption date of the above tranche shall be March 17, 2025,” the Central Bank said.
