The Reserve Bank of India has released the premature redemption schedule for Sovereign Gold Bond tranches that fall due between October 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027.
Under the RBI’s consolidated procedural guidelines for the Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme, premature redemption of gold bonds is allowed after five years from the date of issue. The latest press release gives investors the specific redemption dates and the period during which requests can be submitted.
Where investors can submit requests
According to the RBI, investors who want to redeem eligible holdings before maturity must submit their request within the stated window to the receiving offices, NSDL, CDSL or RBI Retail Direct, as applicable.
The central bank also said the dates may change if there are unscheduled holidays. Investors should therefore check the relevant submission period carefully before planning a redemption request.
