The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced that the premature redemption price for Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) 2019-20 Series I has been fixed at Rs 15,038 per unit for investors opting to redeem their bonds on June 11, 2026.
As per the provisions of the Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme, investors are allowed to seek premature redemption after the completion of five years from the date of issue, on designated interest payment dates. The bonds under this tranche were issued on June 11, 2019, making June 11, 2026, the next eligible redemption date.
The redemption price has been determined based on the simple average of the closing prices of 999 purity gold published by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) over the preceding three business days — June 8, June 9, and June 10, 2026.
The announced redemption value reflects the sharp appreciation in gold prices over the holding period, offering significant gains to investors who subscribed to the bond issue in 2019.
