- National Stock Exchange (NSE) launched Electronic Gold Receipt (EGR) trading in 2026.
- EGRs are SEBI-regulated digital instruments representing physical gold stored in SEBI-approved vaults under the Gold Exchange Framework, 2022.
- Each EGR represents gold of 995 or 999 purity and is held in demat form through National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) or Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) accounts.
- EGR trading started on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) in October 2022 and on the NSE in 2026 with T+1 settlement.
- Investors can convert EGRs into physical gold bars or coins by paying applicable withdrawal charges and 3% Goods and Services Tax (GST).
- EGRs provide transparent pricing, exchange trading, and investor protection compared to unregulated digital gold platforms.
