Raviraj Parekh April 27, 2020

Google Pay Gold

Google Pay gold is one of the smart ways to buy gold online. Any Google Pay users in India can buy 99.99% pure 24 karat gold via Google Pay app. The gold purchased from Google Pay will be stored by MMTC-PAMP in secure vaults.  The facility of buying gold online is already available through PayTm, Mobikwik, and PhonePe. I have already discussed the features of these apps in my earlier post – 5 Digital Gold purchase options. In this post, I will share detail about features of Google Pay Gold and How to buy Gold via Google Pay.

Should you purchase Gold via Google Pay App?

It is very easy to buy gold via Google Pay. Anyone can purchase and even take physical delivery of the gold. However, before buying gold via Google Pay you need to consider important points given below.

  • The Gold Accumulation Plan (GAP) is valid for 5 years. If you are planning to purchase gold for long term this platform is not suitable for you.
  • The delivery of physical gold is limited to certain areas/address. You need to pay additional taxes, delivery charges and manufacturing charges for getting physical delivery of gold.
  • It is compulsory to do transaction within time period of 18 months. In case you fail to do so your account will become inactive.
  • Nominee facility is not available. In case of death of account holder, you need to follow the legal heir process which is time-consuming and cumbersome.
  • You need to check for applicable taxes and storage charges before buying gold using this app.
  • Gold purchased via this option is not completely secured.
  • Terms and conditions of MMTC-PAMP is subject to change anytime.

I hope you have got a complete understanding of god buy and sell process using google pay including benefit and drawbacks. You can buy gold using this app. However, if you are long term investor of Gold, I would recommend buying a Gold ETF.
