thebalanced.newsNew Gold Investment Options in India: Gold Vault, Monetisation Scheme, and Digital Gold Explained
Recent developments in gold investment in India include Dhan's Gold Vault, which links bullion futures prices on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) with options for physical delivery, enhancing transparency and market integration. Meanwhile, the government’s Gold Monetisation Scheme aims to unlock idle household gold by converting it into tradeable certificates, though adoption remains limited. Additionally, digital gold platforms offer convenient online gold purchases backed by physical storage but involve higher costs and pricing spreads compared to exchange-traded options, highlighting trade-offs between accessibility and expenses.
