Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxation of Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs). If you hold an SGB until its 8-year maturity, any capital gains are tax-free. Taxation, specifically capital gains tax, only applies if you sell the SGB on the stock exchange before its maturity date.

If it is traded on stock exchange, subject to STT. After 8 years, when sold, capital gains tax. In between, if this if for company accounts, differed taxes may arise if there are any temporary differences in its tax base and carrying amount. 

It is exempt from capital gains tax.
Agree with yasaswi

Txs. Thought all asset disposal fall under capital gains.

If i purchase from stock market and hold till its maturity without selling it on stock market...then will it be taxable?

Gold bonds have a maturity period of eight years. So, in case you buy gold bonds and hold them till maturity, the capital gains will be tax-free

It is taxable only when you sell it before maturity.

otherwise it is exempted from capital gains tax
Ok...thank you...

you are welcome shikha
