The Finance Minister in his budget speech for the Union Budget 2015-16 made the following announcement: “India is one of the largest consumers of gold in the world and imports as much as 800-1000 tonnes of gold each year. Though stocks of gold in India are estimated to be over 20,000 tonnes, most of this gold is neither traded, nor monetized. Keeping this in view, the government in Budget 2015-16 has announced the Gold Monetization Scheme which will replace both the present Gold Deposit and Gold metal Loan Schemes. The new scheme will allow the depositors of gold to earn interest in their metal accounts and the jewellers to obtain loans in their metal account. Banks/other dealers would also be able to monetize this gold”.

Accordingly, a draft outline of the Scheme has been prepared. Comments and views are invited on the Draft Gold Monetization Scheme.

Draft Gold Monetization Scheme (The outline of the Gold Monetization Scheme placed below is only at the draft stage and is being placed here to obtain public opinion. The scheme as it stands at this stage, does not imply any commitment from the government)

Due to this scheme a large number of gold workers will get job. With this govt should also devise a proper evaluation system in banks as well as in private sector That will ensure and implement purity of new ornaments. And the erring seller/worker can be punished. As is my personal experience that when we purchase gold ornaments and sell it we suffer loss due lack of purity assured by the seller. Banks Can also work as precious metal & gems testing & certifying entity.

The gov already has a scheme for BIS hallmarking of jewellery. For those that already hold hallmarked jewellery, the scheme should allow acceptance of such hallmarked jewellery. It will also be a test of how well the hallmark scheme is operating. If banks refuse to take previously BIS hallmarked jewellery, then the existing hallmark scheme is worthless. The new scheme should find a way to incorporate existing BIS hallmark scheme into it. People holding hallmarked gold should be able to benefit.

This is a good idea mooted out. Due to increase in actual gold with the banks The prices of gold will come down. The rupee will strengthen owing to large amount of gold in the banking system. gold import may come down and the money dumped unfruitfully will see its growth in business. I just cant calculate how much gold is their and it is imported through the ages. More gold in banks will strengthen faith of investor in india. Good gold thing make it work.

A very huge quantity of gold is lying idle in our temples. It may be used to revitalise our economy. However it is a sensitive issue. Temple trust may be asked/motivated to deposit the gold in Bank. common people may be discouraged to buy gold and motivated to deposit in saving scheme of government.Sale of gold coins through Bank may be banned.

AS compared to other countries our forex reserves of 250 $ billion are too low, they should be near 1 trillion $ . Dont buy US$ bonds as they are mere printed currency of america and can collapse anytime. Show Gold accumulated under this scheme as Forex Reserves , as Gold will always be Gold !!! best investment than paper currency specially of America whose national debt is equal to its GDP .
