Thank you for your reply.
As far as you know, are there usually sufficient quota of SGB so that it will usually still be available at least during the first two or three issue days? Since this is the first time I am buying it, I want to make sure I have reasonable time to figure out the process and buy SGB.
I am also interested in starting to use Zerodha. Can you please teach me what are all the types of accounts I must set up in Zerodha in order to buy SGB? How many days will Zerodha account setup take? How do I transfer funds between my own bank HDFC and Zerodha accounts? How many days will fund transfer from HDFC to Zerodha take? Is it possible to buy SGB through Zerodha but in physical (non-Demat) mode? What are the benefits to hold in Demat form? Can I sell SGB at any time (even before 5th year) if it is in Demat format? From which account will Zerodha deduct AMC and other charges?
