How to do investments in gold  

Physical gold – Gupta said that physical gold can be purchased from a local jeweller. The spot price in Delhi today is around Rs 50,300. 

Gold ETF’s or Exchange Traded Funds – This is one of the popular options in developed countries and buyers are still to catch up in India. Gold ETF’s invest in physical gold and are traded in the same way as equities on stock exchanges. Investors need to have a Demat account to trade in it. 

Gold Accumulation Plans (GAP) - This is gradually gaining a lot of popularity. One can buy gold online via mobile wallets such as Paytm, Phonepe and under the Gold Rush plan of Stock Holding Corporation of India. These gold buying options are offered either in association with MMTC-PAMP or SafeGold or both. 

Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB): These is one of the safest gold investment mechanism, where the Reserve Bank of India issues SGBs on behalf of the government. The RBI announces dates with respect to this. The next tranche will be open for subscription between 28 January and 1 December 2021. 

MCX Gold futures - This is another viable option for investors to invest in gold. It is safe, hassle free and gives an option to investors to start from small investments.
