The Reserve Bank of India announced the premature redemption schedule for Sovereign Gold Bonds covering October 2026 to March 2027 on August 21, 2026. Bondholders who wish to exit early can submit redemption requests during specified submission windows across 32 tranches. Requests can be submitted through Receiving Offices, NSDL, CDSL, and RBI Retail Direct.

Rules Governing Premature Exit

The Reserve Bank of India published this calendar under Para 13 of the Consolidated Procedural Guidelines on the Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) Scheme. Circular IDMD.CDD.1100/14.04.050/2021-22 dated October 22, 2021 contains these underlying guidelines. Premature redemption of gold bonds is permitted after five years from the date of issue. Similar to evaluating options when Breaking an FD Early, investors should verify submission deadlines beforehand. The central bank noted that scheduled redemption dates may change if unscheduled holidays occur.
