How to understand the SGB press release from RBI

Before getting into the price history, we will understand how SGBs are priced by reading the RBI press release that comes with every SGB issued.

SGB Press Release

We will give the example of Series I of 2023-24 for investors to understand how SGBs are priced and issued. We will now take up snippets from the RBI press release and explain the terms used.

Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme 2023-24 - Series I will be open for subscription during June 19–23, 2023

Each SGB has an unique financial year and series name which is Series I of FY 2023-24. Investors can apply for the SGB during the period June 19–23, 2023.

nominal value of the bond based on the simple average of closing price [published by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd (IBJA)] for gold of 999 purity of the last three working days of the week preceding the subscription period

SGB is issued at a price which is the average of the 999 purity gold as published by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd (IBJA) for the last 3 working days in the previous week. The identical calculation is used when redemption price of SGB is calculated.

The IBJA website is here: link.

works out to ₹5,926/- (Rupees Five thousand nine hundred and twenty six only) per gram of gold.

The issue price per unit of SGB is ₹5,926. One unit of SGB is equivalent in price to one gram of gold.

offer a discount of ₹50/- per gram less than the nominal value to those investors applying online and making the payment against the application through digital mode

A discount of ₹50/unit is offered as an incentive to make payment for SGB in online mode. This feature has been the norm since most of the SGB issued after 2016.

For such investors, the issue price of Gold Bond will be ₹5,876/- (Rupees Five thousand eight hundred and seventy six only) per gram of gold.

Post discount, the SGB issue price is ₹5,876 per unit.

The complete press release is available in the RBI website.
