The Securities and Exchange Board of India mandates that mutual funds value physical Gold and Silver using polled spot prices from recognized stock exchanges effective April 1, 2026. This requirement replaces the previous practice of using London Bullion Market Association fixing prices to ensure valuations reflect domestic market conditions and maintain uniformity. The Asset Management Company shall prescribe a uniform policy in consultation with SEBI to implement this change under the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 2026.
