SGB used to be best investment for Gold. But after govt has closed new SGB tranches. Whats best way to invest in Gold?
Do not want physical gold as difficult to maintain

Buy sgb in secondary market 🤪
Probably not the answer you are looking for
One thing for certain is not to buy digital gold
 
Refer to this thread:


And open as many large lockers as you need and buy physical gold to store in it. Going to be much cheaper than GST in the long run.
 
Avoid SGB. Either Gold ETF(GoldBees) or physical gold.

Not sure how well they will correlate to gold and 12.5% taxation will be there
The 12.5% tax is customs duty to import gold in India. This leads to domestic INR gold prices being higher than international prices being higher by a similar percentage.

Hence, buying physical gold or gold ETF/mutual fund has exactly the same price basis and is generally very correlated to gold price in Indian market.

Digital gold and physical gold has a GST of 3% which will impact returns (even long term returns). ETF does not have such a GST but the fund itself will pay GST when it buys gold and that GST will come from your invested value. But, generally there will be some exits from such funds over time which will lead to average percentage of GST being much lower than 3%.
There will be other costs such as brokerage and STT when buying ETFs but thta tends to be much lower.

I thought MF house dont pay such taxes they also not liable to pay STCG and LTCG. and ETF do not buy physical gold..
 
Are Silver coins a good investment? Like If I buy a 100GM Silver Coin for 12k today, will I be able to sell it at an equal price or higher in a year?
