MUMBAI, India -- In a move to revive the flagging Gold Monetisation Scheme 2015, the Reserve Bank of India has made it easier for depositors to hand over their holdings of the precious metal.
In an amendment to the scheme, the RBI said that, while all deposits have to be made at collection and purity testing centers, banks may accept gold at designated branches, especially from the larger depositors. Banks must also identify at least one branch in a state or Union territory where they have a presence to accept the deposits under the scheme. ...
Under the scheme, gold can be deposited for a short-term bank deposit of one to three years. The medium- and long-term government deposits can be opened for five to seven and 12 to 15 years, respectively.
