RBI just released the 2026-27 premature redemption calendar for 32 tranches; covering bonds issued in 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22. You can exit early (after 5 years) but only on specific dates. Miss the window? You wait. Redemption price? Tied to gold’s market rate; so it’s not fixed. First exit: Oct 15, 2026 (Series V, 2019-20). Deadline to apply? Sept 14–Oct 5. Last chance? March 17, 2027 (Series IV, 2019-20). Pro tip: If you bought via a bank, ask them; don’t assume the process. And yes, RBI might tweak dates if holidays pop up. Don’t risk losing your exit chance. Gold’s up; time to decide if you’re cashing out or holding till 2027.
