About Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme
The Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme was launched by the government in November 2015 under the Gold Monetisation Scheme. Under the scheme, the issues are made open for subscription in tranches by the RBI in consultation with the Government of India. RBI notifies the terms and conditions of the scheme from time to time. The rate of SGBs is declared by the RBI before every new tranche via a press release.
