Sir,
Please throw some light on below:
1. this 2.5 % interest on Gram or the amount invested? Also is this 2.5% per annum?
2. How about TDS?
Assume if I’m opting 8 gms today it comes around 37k. After 8 years if gold price is doubled can I redeem on that days market price. Also will I be able to get gold or as money.
Request guidance
1) 2.5% per annum 2) You would get equivalent gold value in rupees on the date of maturity. You can purchase immly physical gold if you want on maturity date 3) TDS would not be deducted, but you need to pay if your income is taxable based on you income tax slab
Thanks a lot for the guidance
