SEBI Issues Caution on Investment in Digital Gold

On November 8, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued a public caution regarding investments in “Digital Gold.”

According to SEBI’s Press Release No. 70/2025, several digital and online platforms have been offering “Digital Gold” or “E-Gold” investment options, often marketed as alternatives to physical gold. SEBI has clarified that such products do not fall under its regulatory purview and are not classified as securities or commodity derivatives.


In contrast, SEBI-regulated gold investment avenues include:

  • Gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) offered by mutual funds,

  • Exchange-traded commodity derivative contracts, and

  • Electronic Gold Receipts (EGRs) traded on recognized stock exchanges.

Investors are advised to exercise caution, as Digital Gold products may entail significant counterparty and operational risks. SEBI has also emphasized that investor protection mechanisms applicable to regulated securities do not extend to such digital gold investments.

  Is SIP Tax-Free? Understanding Taxation on SIP Investments A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) helps you invest a fixed amount regularly in mutual funds. While SIPs themselves are not taxable, the returns you earn —capital gains or IDCW—are taxed at the time of redemption. Only one category, Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) , offers tax deductions under Section 80C (old regime) up to ₹1.5 lakh per year. Equity Funds: Each SIP instalment is treated as a separate investment. Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) on units held for less than 1 year are taxed at 20% . Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) above ₹1.25 lakh per financial year are taxed at 12.5% without indexation. Debt Funds: For SIP investments made on or after 1 April 2023 , all gains are taxed as short-term and added to your income as per slab. Older investments (before 1 April 2023) held for 3 years qualify as LTCG with 12.5 % tax  without any indexation benefit. ELSS SIPs: Eligible for Section 80C deduction up...
