it should be done, i would like to buy individually for myself(resident of India)(you could put percentage for people to buy bonds, or a gift for birthday for 13 year, could get cash when the kid got 18 year)

am accessing mygov through mobile app. how do I access draft paper of the subject proposal?

these bonds should be sold just like selling gold bars in jewellery shop, then this will make it a big hit

subscriptions charge will be minimum and rate of interest no high level

DEMAT itself is very unstable. Indians buy gold as a Security reason more than to gold crave. Bcos they believe gold price will never decrease to very much.
My suggestions:
1.Instead of DEMAT, Fixed Deposit schemes can be introduced for Gold.
2.Minimum return should be fixed in such a way that atleast their principal is not lost.
3.At the end of tenure, there should be an option to get it as CASH or GOLD at the preference of investor.
4.When RETURNS are not sure, GOLD SCHEME CAN'T SUCCEED.

1. Rate of interest should be given according to the market.
2.there should not be any time bound for redemption period.
3.there should be equal interest for everybody.
4.it should be mandatory to spend a part of interest on the girl education.

1. These should be considered as collateral 2. It should be allowed to be redeemed before maturity. 3. Capital protection should be provided funds invested in it. 4. Resources raised using this should be used in social sectors affecting entire population of the country. 5. Only domestic residence should be allowed to invest in such bonds. 6. NRI allowed to invest with compulsory usage of matured funds within the country only. 7.

1. Subscription above certain limit requires PAN otherwise no PAN required. 2. Gold bonds certificates & Ware house receipts should have some relationship. One can replace others & liquidity should be available in both pl. 3. Excise / Sales tax should be made in line with international standardes & effectively be made simplified for retail customers.

1. End investor / consumer should not get affected on rate of return.. 2. Gold monetisation scheme & this scheme should be linked to each other. 3. Return should be paid in terms of gold grams rather than cash. 4. Bonds should be tradable instrument in the market along the lines of ETF funds. 5. Holding in Bonds, ETF by individual should be allowed to be pledged for short term cash management. Limit should be given on the lines of loan against securities offered by banks to customers.
