💨 Abstract

India has discontinued medium and long-term deposits under the Gold Monetisation Scheme, citing evolving market conditions and the scheme's performance. The scheme, introduced in 2015, encouraged households and institutions to deposit idle gold for interest. The move aims to reduce government obligations and risks related to gold prices, which have risen 15% this year. Existing deposits will continue until maturity.
