flag India's 2026 budget ends tax-free capital gains for secondary SGB buyers, cutting speculation.

flag India’s 2026 budget changes the tax treatment of Sovereign Gold Bonds, limiting the capital gains exemption to investors who buy directly from the government at issuance and hold until maturity. flag Starting April 1, 2026, secondary market buyers lose the tax-free benefit, aiming to curb speculation and promote long-term investment. flag The rule applies uniformly to all SGB issuances, removing previous inconsistencies and closing arbitrage opportunities. flag The move led to sharp declines in secondary market prices, with some bonds dropping up to 9%.
