# RBI fixes SGB 2019-20 Series III redemption price at Rs 15,310 per unit 2026-08-13T14:05:38+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Reserve Bank of India has set the premature redemption price for Sovereign Gold Bond 2019-20 Series III at Rs 15,310 per unit, effective August 14, 2026. The price is based on the simple average of closing prices for 999-purity gold on August 11, 12, and 13, as published by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association. Investors who bought the bond at the issue price of Rs 3,449 (online) have seen an absolute gain of nearly 344% in seven years, excluding the 2.5% annual interest. A Rs 1 lakh investment is now worth about Rs 4.44 lakh. However, Livemint reports that from April 1, 2026, capital gains tax exemption on SGB redemption applies only on holding until maturity, not on premature exits. ## Coverage - rbi.org.in - livemint.com Tags: gold price, investment, premature redemption, RBI, SGB, Sovereign Gold Bond Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/rbi-sets-sgb-2019-20-series-iii-redemption-price-at-rs-15310/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
