25 August 2010 If the gold is deposited under Gold Deposit Scheme 1999 interest is exempted from Income tax. Like wise there is no capital gains tax on the maturity of the scheme. More over the amount is also exempted from the levy of wealth tax

25 August 2010 If suppose Gold is not deposited under Gold Deposit Scheme 1999 then is the Interest taxable.

25 August 2010 A certificate is also issued under the gold deposit scheme, 1999. Pl check the certificate / any correspondence etc and ascertain the name of the scheme first. Then please think about the tax implication thereon.
