Investors holding older Sovereign Gold Bonds have a defined window to exit early. The Reserve Bank of India released a premature redemption calendar on Aug. 21 covering 32 SGB tranches from the June 2019 through March 2022 series.
SGBs carry an eight-year tenure. The scheme allows redemption after five years from the issue date. The calendar lists the dates when each tranche becomes eligible, running from Oct. 15, 2026 (2019-20 Series V) through March 17, 2027 (2019-20 Series IV).
The 32 eligible tranches break into three groups by financial year. Ten from the 2019-20 series, 12 from 2020-21 and 10 from 2021-22. Among the 2020-21 tranches, Series VII becomes eligible on Oct. 19, 2026, and Series XII on March 9, 2027. For the 2021-22 series, Series VII is redeemable from Nov. 2, 2026, and Series X from March 8, 2027.
