Sovereign Gold Bond: Where else is a better opportunity to buy cheap gold! Know the things related to the scheme
Sovereign Gold Bond: The Central Government is once again being given a chance to buy gold cheaply. That is, once again through Sovereign Gold Bond, you can take the opportunity to buy gold at a rate lower than the market rate. Sovereign gold bonds are issued by RBI, whose price is lower than the market.
The eighth and last phase of the Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme has started. Under the scheme, you can buy gold today i.e. from November 29 to December 3 and you can get it cheaper by buying it online. For this eighth phase, the price of gold has been fixed at Rs 4791 per gram and if you buy online or digitally, then you can get a discount of Rs 50 more per gram. That is, for 10 grams of gold, your price will be Rs 47410 instead of Rs 47910. In this way, on buying 10 grams of gold directly, you will be able to get a benefit of Rs 500.

The profit can be made on every 10 grams of gold.
