But First, Why SGBs, Hon?
Let's face it, gold is like the LBD of investments: classic, reliable, and always adds a touch of oomph. But unlike that impulse buy you regret after three margaritas, SGBs come with some sweet perks:
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
- Government-backed: It's like having Fort Knox in your pocket (minus the moat and laser beams).
- Earn interest: You get regular gold-flavored payouts, not just bragging rights.
- Tax benefits: The government loves you (almost) as much as you love gold, so taxes are friendly.
- No storage drama: No lugging around heavy bars, just a neat digital certificate.
Convinced? Zerodha to the Rescue!
