We will also share a detailed post and video explaining the home delivery process soon.
The delivery address is not fixed, you can update it at the time of placing the home delivery request. However, delivery will be made only in your name and to your registered mobile number (for OTP).
Since this involves high-value bullion, the entire logistics process is fully secured and insured. At the time of delivery, the delivery executive will verify your physical ID to match your Dhan account identification, and the handover will be completed only after a secure OTP confirmation.
Hi @vishaln There a price at which a contract is traded, which is reflect in the Bullion cost + there are charges associated with it. These are standard charges, possibly the only one major that is associated with it is 3% GST which is applicable for all formats of Gold purchases, the rest are Brokerage (charged by Dhan), Exchange Transaction fees + SEBI + Stamp Duty + Physical Settlement Charges & Clearing Corp ones.
Every format of Gold presented / offered to retail users has its own charges, be it Physical Format, Digital Gold or Purchase directy from Exchange. Please note - we donāt want to say that this is the cheapest price of Gold, if that is what you are looking for.
This is the best form of Gold at super competitive prices for retail investors + regulated + storage in secured vaults + physical delivery when you need it.
@Naman I donāt think its a better option compared to ETFs. With a 0.5% expense ratio vs 50/gram Vault charges, its a small difference but expense ratio is on the value which would increase with total value per year which is the only benefit. The upfront tax on Gold, Packing, Settlement and GST on Charges are additionals which would help in buying more units in ETFs. Also the LTCG is 24 months compared to 12 months in ETFs.
On the other hand I believe its a better option vs buying a gold bar from a jeweller. We save on the storage charges as the vaultās per year charges are cheaper compared to a bank lockerās annual rental.
@PravinJ@Dhan NSE recently launched Electronic Gold Receipts(EGRs). How is Gold Vault different from EGRs? When is Dhan planning to integrate EGRs in the platform?
