class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Digital gold is an investment product where investors buy gold online through a platform and receive credits. Usually those credits are equal to gold that is kept in safe custody by the company or its partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process is simple. Investors buy gold at the price listed by the platform and receive credits that match the amount after taxes and deductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example if an investor buys \u20b9500 worth of gold they will receive the quantity of gold that corresponds to that amount for that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Digital_Gold_How_It_Works\"><\/span>Digital Gold: How It Works?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors first pick how much they want to invest; then the platform calculates the quantity and equivalent gold based on its buying price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platform handles the gold making sure that there is a matching amount of real gold kept in safe custody by the company or its partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors can see the quantity in their accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the price of gold changes every day in the market the value of the investment also goes up or down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also investors can sell their portion of gold wherever digital gold can be sold, through the platform according to its buying and selling terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buyers can also withdraw money based on the value of the gold they own at the closing price on that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Invest_in_Digital_Gold_in_India\"><\/span>How to Invest in Digital Gold in India?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who wants to learn how to invest in gold in India can start easily.
