Gold ETFs are exchange-traded funds that track the domestic price of physical gold (99.5% purity). Each unit of a Gold ETF represents approximately 1 gram of gold, making it the most convenient, transparent, and cost-effective way to invest in gold in India.
Unlike physical gold, Gold ETFs require no storage, insurance, or making charges. They are held in your Demat account just like shares and can be bought or sold on NSE/BSE during market hours.
Holding period < 24 months โ Taxed as per your income tax slab rate
Holding period โฅ 24 months โ 12.5% without indexation benefit (post Budget 2024)
๐ก Pro Tip: Gold ETFs held for 24+ months qualify for LTCG at 12.5%, making them more tax-efficient than physical gold which attracts GST and other charges.
