How much tax we need to pay while Buying and selling?

If you have ‘cash’, then buy physical (no tax). If you don’t have ‘cash’, then buy SGBs or Gold ETFs (tax is included in purchase value). There will be very small difference in terms of returns in the long term between physical and demat. But you must have allocation to gold in your portfolio, it never depreciates over a long term.

One more thing to keep in mind is gold only gives a good return over the horizon of 5-8 years. For diversification it makes sense to invest in gold, but don't go overboard only invest up to 10% of your portfolio
