RBI Announces Premature Redemption Dates for Sovereign Gold Bonds Starting October 2026
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced premature redemption dates for certain Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) tranches between October 2026 and March 2027. Four tranches issued between 2019 and 2020 have premature redemption dates in October 2026, with specific windows for investors to submit redemption requests. SGBs, government-backed securities linked to gold prices, have an eight-year maturity but allow premature redemption after five years. Redemption prices are based on average gold prices before the redemption date.
