 What is the role of the “Administrator”?

The gold purchased on your behalf is stored with Brink's, the leading safe keeper of precious metals across the world. The gold is insured, for both storage and transit when being delivered to you. Further, the Administrator has a charge on all gold stored in the vault in your favour. This ensures that your gold is protected at all times regardless of any external events.

  What will happen to the gold associated with accumulations in my account, in the unlikely event of the SafeGold going into liquidation?

The gold associated with the accumulations in your account is separate from the other assets of the SafeGold. Vistra Corporate Services (India) Private Limited (Administrator), an independent trustee, acts for and on your behalf. The gold purchased by DGIPL associated with the accumulations in your accounts is held with the Custodian. When you ask for delivery, the requisite quantity of gold will be removed from the Custodian and delivered to you through a reputed courier service. Since the Administrator has a charge over the gold, any unlikely adverse event happening to DGIPL will not affect the gold associated with the accumulations in your account. Further, the title of the gold clearly rests with you and the physical gold stored with the Custodian on account of SafeGold customers is not an asset of SafeGold in any way.

  Who will insure the physical vault?

The secure storage provider (Brink's) has a comprehensive, global insurance policy that includes the insurance cover on your gold stored in their vaults. In addition, DGIPL has an additional insurance policy to cover gold in transit.

  What is the maximum period of time for which my gold can be stored with DGIPL?

You can store your gold with DGIPL for a period of 10 years from the date of purchase. The custody shall be without charge for the first 5 years, and thereafter, will continue to be stored by DGIPL for a nominal fee to cover storage costs. You will be intimated in advance of being charged the fee, and will have the option to sell or request delivery of your gold at all times.

  What will happen to my gold if my account is not operational on the platform?

We will always endeavour to provide you with immediate access to your gold. If, however, your account has been suspended for any reason, we would request you to get in touch with DGIPL’s customer service centre, in order to reactivate your account and access your gold once again. Customers may get in touch with Tanishq’s customer service centre as a secondary recourse.

  Why is there a difference between SafeGold Rate and Tanishq Ecom rate?

The Gold Rate in SafeGold is the price of Raw Gold that is being traded in the commodity markets which is influenced by various macroeconomic factors including global commodity pricing and Rupee valuation against USD. This Gold rate is not the selling gold rate of a finished product. There are operational costs involved even after raw gold is purchased from the market to convert the gold for amenability to make jewellery and these processing costs are why the Gold Rate of all jewelers (not just Tanishq) differs from the commodity rates. In addition, the SafeGold rate varies based on the time of the day, as there are intra-day price movements in the commodity market as well.

  How do I sell my gold?

Tanishq Digital Gold Platform provides a live sell price quote. You can choose to sell any amount starting with a minimum of Re 100 to a maximum of the amount of SafeGold that you own. The sell quote may be temporarily unavailable in the unlikely event of a disruption in the bullion market. To sell your gold, you can enter the amount in rupees or gold in grams. You will be required to fill in the bank details, which will be verified. Upon verification and the sell transaction being successful, the sale proceeds will be credited to your verified bank account by DGIPL within 5-7 working days.

  Where do I get the proceeds when I sell my gold?

When you sell your gold, you’ll receive funds against it in a verified bank account in your own name. You can add your account details prior to the sale, which will be verified by DGIPL. Once the verification is complete, you’ll receive the proceeds post the sale of your gold, within 5-7 working days. If the sell transaction has been made on Friday/Saturday or Sunday, then you will receive your sales proceeds by Tuesday of the following week.

  What happens if the sales proceeds are not credited to me within 7 working days?

If the sales proceeds have not been received within 7 working days of the transaction, please email our customer service team at [email protected] with your related transaction details, and we shall resolve your issue.

  I’m facing issues with bank account verification, what should I do?

In case you are facing any issues with uploading your proof of Bank account documents or completing the verification, please reach out to our support team with a screenshot of the issue on [email protected]

  Why is the SafeGold Sell Price different from the SafeGold Buy Price?

DGIPL offers international grade bullion from institutional suppliers and sells this to consumers. When customers sell the gold back, the gold is sold back to institutional participants in the wholesale bullion market, where the buyback rate is lower than the selling rate – this is referred to as the buy-sell spread. In addition to the buy-sell spread in the commercial bullion market, GST is added to the buy price, but it is not levied on any sell transactions. Further, there are charges incurred on the payment gateway, trustee, insurance and custodian fees which also contribute to the difference in buy and sell price.

  Can I cancel my sell order/request of gold sell?

No, you cannot cancel the order once it has been successfully placed on the platform.
