Can go for gold deposit bonds. U can go to the designated banks & convert the value of gold into the bonds. These bonds are specifically excluded from defination of capital assets. So on sale of these bonds u r not liable for capital gain. On sale of the bonds u can claim the market value of gold or can ask for gold i.e upto how much grams u have given to bank, only thing is that the form of gold would change it won't be the same which you have given. & if u r keeping this bond for a period it will fetch u 2 % interest p.a which is also exempt. Moreover these bonds are also not included for purpose of wealth tax. So i think this is the best option to convert the gold into bonds & sale the same. Or Can go for Bonus stripping of shares.
