  "account": "The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has revealed that investors in the SGB 2020-21 Series XII, issued on March 9, 2021, will be able to prematurely redeem their bonds from September 9, 2026. According to the RBI's announcement, this specific tranche of SGBs can be redeemed after the fifth year from the date of issue, which coincides with the date on which the bond's interest is paid.\n\nThe premature redemption price for this particular SGB series has been fixed at Rs 15,355 per unit, calculated based on the simple average closing price of 999-purity gold for the preceding three business days - September 4, September 7, and September 8, 2026. This price was determined by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA).\n\nFor those who invested in this series online, the issue price for the gold bond was Rs 4,612 per gram of gold. The bond is expected to generate an absolute simple return of nearly 233% by the time of premature redemption. This returns comes from the difference between the redemption price of Rs 15,355 and the issue price of Rs 4,612, resulting in an absolute return of Rs 10,743. When factoring in the interest earned, this translates to an impressive 233% return on a Rs 1 lakh investment.",
