SGB Shines with 183% Gains: SGB 2019-20 Series IV Can Opt for Premature Redemption

Investors in the Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) 2019-20 Series IV are set to benefit from strong gains as they become eligible for premature redemption. Linked to gold prices, the scheme has delivered robust returns in addition to fixed interest, and this exit option provides liquidity before maturity.

SGB Redemption Date and Eligibility

The Sovereign Gold Bond 2019-20 Series IV, issued on September 17, 2019, permits premature redemption after five years. The current redemption window falls on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, coinciding with the interest payout date.

183% Returns Over Issue Price

The issue price was set at ₹3,890 per gram. Investors will now realise gains of about 183%, which translates into an annualised return of approximately 18.6% per year. These figures highlight the effectiveness of gold-linked bonds in generating wealth alongside stability.

Redemption Price Fixed at ₹11,003

The redemption price has been finalised at ₹11,003 per unit. This price is based on the simple average of closing gold prices of September 12, 15, and 16, 2025, as published by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd (IBJA).

Process of Redemption

Investors can redeem their units through the bank or depository account where their SGBs are held. Once the process is completed, the proceeds will be credited directly to the investor’s account, ensuring ease and transparency.
