The current issue will be followed by five tranches till March 2021.

Gold bonds are an effective way to earn gold-linked returns along with interest at the rate of 2.5 per cent per annum, say wealth planners. Maturity PeriodThe bonds purchased under the scheme come with a maturity period of eight years.

This means that your investment is locked in for this period.

However, there is an option to exit the bonds after the first five years. (Also Read: Government's Gold Bond Scheme Open For Subscription - 10 Things To Know)Issue PriceThe price of gold bonds is linked to the market price of the precious metal.

Therefore, each series comes with a unique issue price.

For the current series, Series VII (2020-21), an issue price of Rs 5,051 per unit is set.

Here, one bond is equivalent to the value of one gram of gold. A discount of Rs 50 per unit is available on online purchases (using digital modes of payment).Interest RateInvestment in the bonds also earns interest at the rate of 2.5 per cent, payable semi-annually.

In other words, your investment in gold bonds not only appreciates in tandem with the market price of the metal, but also earns an additional return of 2.5 per cent (over and above the bond value).  (Also Read: How Price Of Government-Run Gold Bond Scheme Is Calculated)Investment LimitIndividual investors can buy between one to 4,000 bonds in a financial year.
