Putting all eggs in a single basket is never a good deal. Especially when gold is ATH.

But they are always ATH all the time whenever I check, while getting married 10gms were between 10-20K(difficult to guess when I got married). Now its 7K i think

If you can foresee any future commitments in next 2 years then save for it and invest, if you really believe that you canโ€™t gauge your commitments then its not for you.

It would have been better if you invested in last or last to last SGB. Currently Gold is peaking so donโ€™t go all in, specially when Gold nears 80K INR. If you want to be Gold heavy, go split with Gold 30-35 percent, Debt, Contra or Flexi MF 10-15 % percent, Equity 40 percent and yes good old FD 10 percent. Some banks offering close to 9 percent rates now.
