What changed
The RBI has published the official redemption price for SGB 2018-19 Series-II premature redemption. The redemption price of ₹15,219 per unit reflects the simple average of IBJA closing gold prices (999 purity) for the three business days ending April 22, 2026. SGB holders in this tranche who wish to exercise premature redemption on the April 23, 2026 due date should submit their requests through their designated banks or custodians.

Financial institutions and banks acting as_repository entities for SGB holdings should ensure their systems reflect the ₹15,219 redemption price for April 23, 2026 transactions.
