As stock exchanges are subject to transparency and compliance requirements under the regulatory framework, using the spot price published by such regulated entities shall lead to valuation reflective of domestic market conditions and also ensure uniformity in the valuation practices.
Accordingly, it has been decided that with effect from April 01, 2026, the mutual funds shall value physical Gold and Silver by using the polled spot prices published by the recognized stock exchanges which are used for settlement of physically delivered Gold and Silver derivatives contracts.
