On SGB maturity (8 years), proceeds are credited to the bank account linked to your demat at the time of issue.

Key points

  • Default: Bank account linked when you applied for the SGB.
  • Bank changed later: RBI uses the bank linked at maturity if updated through KYC.
  • Multiple bank accounts: Default credit goes to primary bank.
  • NRI: NRO account (capital repatriable per FEMA).

Updating bank for credit

If your bank account has changed:

  1. Update demat KYC with new bank via Zerodha.
  2. Confirm with CDSL via Easi.
  3. Inform RBI Kuber (some tranches require explicit consent).

For older SGB tranches, the original bank may be defunct. Submit a fresh bank mandate before maturity.

What you receive

  • Principal: Equal to (avg gold price last 3 days x grams held).
  • Final coupon: Last 6-month coupon credit.
  • Both typically credited within 5-7 working days of maturity date.
