Background
The gold policy in India has been traditionally governed by the Gold Control Act, 1968,
an act of the Parliament of India, which was enacted to control the sales and holding of
gold in personal possession. The act stemmed from the accentuation of foreign exchange
in 1962, when the Finance Ministry recalled all gold loans given by banks and banned
forward trading in gold. In 1965, a gold bond scheme was launched with tax immunity
for unaccounted wealth. This was the lead-up to the Gold Act of 1968, which stated that
citizens are prohibited from owning gold in form of bars or coins. The act got repealed in
1990 as government embarked on the path of liberalization.
In September 1999, the Indian government launched a Gold Deposit Scheme to utilize
the idle gold reserves and simultaneously give a return to gold owners. Another aim was
at reducing the countrys reliance on gold imports, however this plan wasnt accepted
widely by the people. Gold kept idle is considered a key factor behind the current
account deficit. Acting on this belief, the government has announced policy measures
aimed at stemming the flow of official imports of gold. The three major schemes that the
finance ministry has announced are: Gold Monetisation Scheme, Sovereign Gold Bond
Scheme and Indian Gold Coin.
