The current tranche of gold bonds offers customers an opportunity to invest in gold, especially considering the war between Russia and Ukraine and rising inflation across the globe. As per analysts, the bullion is likely to emerge as the best hedge against inflation. The aggravating geopolitical tensions and rising inflation makes gold a perfect buy, said IIFL Securities.

As usual, the tenure of the bond will be for a period of eight years, with an option to exit after the fifth year. The minimum permissible investment is being fixed as 1 gram.

The government had launched the scheme for the first time in November 2015, mainly aimed at reducing the rising demand for physical gold in the country.
