- I haven’t found any easy way for finding exact date but generally symbol of SGB has maturity month and year. Interest is paid out in 6 months multiple of that. eg SGBDC27VII-GB will be paying out interest in June and December of every year. For Exact date, I refer my bank statement.
- No, I think tax exemption is available only when redemption happens on 8th year and not for premature redemption. So you will have to hold for 4 more years in your example.
Hi @Akash_Shah
Thanks for your reply.
With reference to following video from ET Money -
They have clearly mentioned we can redeem SGB with RBI after 5 year of completion and any redemption with RBI is always tax free.
Do you know any RBI’s official paper on the rules and regulation of SGB? It looks like no one has full clarity around SGB.
Well, I haven’t seen the video but I have seen numerous articles on business website which indicates that redemption on maturity is tax free and premature redemption is not. One article from Mint below.
RBI website FAQ also says that " The capital gains tax arising on redemption of SGB to an individual has been exempted." But it is silent on premature redemption.
As such I think first SGB should be finishing 5 years somewhere in July-Aug this year. Only then there will be see clarity coming.
Also I believe this process of premature redemption is not going to be smooth. You will have to give application 30 days before the date and might need some efforts in getting proceeds. (That’s just my thought)
Check this page on the RBI website. In the table present on that page, there is a column which is called Commencement of premature redemption which lists the interest payment dates (as the Early exit option after 5 years can only be done on the Interest payment date). Starting from Tranche 10, it lists interest payment dates that are different from the issuance date (which is also an interest payment date) hence sharing both interest payment dates for every tranche. For the second interest payment date for Tranches 1-9, we can get some of that information from the BSE website (like for example, second interest payment date Tranche 1 is May 30th as per BSE website). Some Tranches (aka 2-3) don’t have any information present about the second interest payment date on the BSE website and those dates I have derived based on estimates. Also, the actual interest payment dates will likely differ a bit if that date is a banking holiday or a non-working day. I have compiled the data from the RBI website and BSE website in the table below -

Also, I had shared information about symbols of each SGB (until the 61st Tranche) on both NSE and BSE in this thread.

Where can I see volumes of all SGB in single list.
Check this page on the NSE website. It shows daily volumes for all the 47 tranches of SGBs
Another forum member suggests using eMarket Watch feature in ICICIDirect (in case you have an account with them) as that allows sorting based on volumes of SGBs for both NSE and BSE

Hello, can you please inform me, when the SGB of February 2021 will credit to my demat account. The issue date was 9th February.
It can take around 10 - 15 days from issue closure date for SGB to be credited to your Demat account. You’ll receive email from CDSL when credit happens.

I have purchased few SGBAUG28 from secondary market. It is available in my demat account.
Today is 12th February but I didn’t received any interest in my bank account yet, is anything wrong here?
The issuence date of this security is 11th Aug 2020.
You should receive in a day or two. If not then you can write to the RTA, for SGB’s and G-Sec’s NSDL and CDSL act as RTA’s so you can write to them.

Yes, me too didn’t received yet.
Yes. Mail and credit too. Have you bought this in primary or secondary market? Do you receive dividends from other stocks in your bank account?
I have bought from Secondary market through Zerodha. I don’t have any other stocks( hence no dividends). So far I have invested only in the SGBAUG28. I am beginner in investing 
I checked the bank account details in the CDSL, that looks correct. Not sure what is going wrong
Its not an issue with bank account, I am receiving dividends without any problem.
