Why fresh buying of Sovereign Gold Bonds is blocked on Kite

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Fresh buying of Sovereign Gold Bonds blocked on Kite is not a Zerodha restriction in most cases; it is the absence of a primary issuance to buy. The Reserve Bank of India has not issued a new Sovereign Gold Bond tranche since the February 2024 series, so there is no fresh subscription window on any platform. Existing SGB series still trade on the secondary market, and you can buy them through the Kite market watch, subject to thin liquidity and, for some account types, a CDSL credit block.

How to buy a Sovereign Gold Bond on the secondary market via Kite

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This guide explains how to buy Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) in the exchange-listed secondary market through Zerodha’s Kite platform. SGBs are government securities denominated in units of one gram of gold, issued by the Government of India under the SGB Scheme administered by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) . Once issued, SGBs are listed on the NSE and BSE and can be bought and sold like listed securities.

Buying in the secondary market offers two advantages over a new primary issue: (a) you can buy at any time, not only during the two-to-three-day subscription windows that RBI opens periodically; and (b) secondary market prices often trade at a discount to the prevailing gold price NAV, allowing entry below the RBI’s official issue price.
