   Dear Salva, emotions are OK but what about Tax liability on you for the Gold redemption from ETFs or Gold MFs? For the given situation, please check with a reputed jweler in your city that you ‘ll pay mly and at the end you should be able to purchase the Coins only.

   Alternate way is to open a RD. invest mly amount into it and then purchase gold coin from the maturity value. Of course in this case, the interest income from Rd ‘ll be taxable for you.

   Thanks

   Dear Salva, how about opening a MF in her name from today itself and invest the desired amount in it?

   thanks

      As I said before, it’s not about the money. More for sentimental value 🙂

   Dear Muthu, there is no exit loads on Gold ETFs.

   Dear Salva, what do you want to do at the end with these coins?

   Thanks

      Hi Ashal,

      I’ll be needing ~3 sovereigns gold since my niece will be celebrating her first birthday next June. I want to gift her the coins so that she can use them as she likes when she grows up.

      Not gifting shares or any other securities since only gold has emotional value 🙂

   with ETFs, there will be exit loads if you redeem within certain time depending on the ETF. For physical purchase, there might be transport costs associated depending on where you live (even 100Rs petrol will result in a 1.6% charge for 6000Rs). reliance mygold had a 2% admin charge when i looked at it briefly. did not go much into details. check out the charges and loads of etfs, reliance mygold. If you need physical delivery of gold, you could also check out GRT jewellers gold saving scheme, you can invest online and also get the benefit of lower rate if gold price is less than your average price at redemption.

   Hi Ashal,

   It is May 2015 only. My mind is yet to come out of 2013 I guess 😀
