Buying gold especially during festival time is a tradition followed by many Indians as it is considered auspicious and is thought to bring good luck. Dhanteras falls on November 10 and 11, 2023.
If you are looking at investing in paper gold you can do it either through Gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs). Unlike physical gold, you will not get physical possession of the gold instead you hold it as an investment which can be redeemed when you need it.
