One of the reasons for investment in gold ETF is the tax benefit compared to bank deposits. Gold ETF does not attract wealth tax and securities transaction tax. For ETFs held beyond one year, the long-term capital gains tax is only 10 percent, unlike the tax rate at 30 percent for interest on bank deposits. Because of this, many investors prefer investing in gold ETFs rather than in bank deposits.

In recent years, the urban Indian retail investors are showing a marked preference for investment in gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Gold ETFs are passively managed mutual funds that invest money collected from investors in standard gold bullion of 99.5 percent purity. The investment objective of gold ETFs is to provide preexpense returns corresponding to the returns provided by investing directly in gold. ETFs are traded on the stock exchanges and are similar to trading shares of companies. Currently, in India, gold can be bought in very small units, even one gram, without the requirement of its storage and safety related issues. So, ETFs and other dematerialized forms of gold have become a preferred asset class for gold investments in India. The first gold ETF was launched in 2007 by Benchmark Mutual Fund (now Goldman Sachs), which was followed by 13 others in quick succession.
