Hi,

I received gold jewellery as gift from my in-laws (approx.640 grams). I would like to convert my gold jewellery to either SGB or R-GDS. I would prefer SGB as it can be dematerialised & pledged. However, I am concerned about tax implications. Following are my primary concerns:

  1. Does sale of gold jewellery to buy SGB attract Capital Gains Tax?
  2. Does deposit of jewellery for R-GDS attract capital gains?
  3. I don't have any bills as it was a gift during my marriage. Does converting to Bonds/Gold Deposit arise to any income tax issues in future? 
  4. Are there any other legal/tax issues I should be concerned about?

Also, please advice if this is a bad idea from an investment point of view.

Thanks in advance,

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications of converting gifted gold jewellery (approx. 640 grams) into Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) or Gold Deposit Schemes (R-GDS). The user is concerned about capital gains tax upon conversion, especially without original bills, and potential future income tax issues. Expert replies clarify that interest on R-GDS and capital gains on bonds are generally exempt, but the initial conversion of jewellery itself might attract capital gains tax if not handled correctly. Advice is also sought on the investment viability of these options.

Reply to point no. 2.

(a) Interest earned on R-GDS would be exempt u/s 10(15)(vi) of the Income Tax Act.

(b) Capital gains made on the bonds through trading or at redemption exempt from Capital Gains Tax under section 2(14)(vi) of Income Tax Act.

Manoj

Hi Manoj,

Thanks for your reply. However, I was actually concerned whether there is any capital gains tax that would arise during conversion of gold jewellery to R-GDS

Thanks,

AB.
