BUYING / SELLING
The common parameters with respect to buying / selling are as follows:

  • Buy / Sell Price Spreads: The Website will continuously provide buy / sell prices for the gold / silver on the platform. The buy / sell prices and the spread between them could change on the basis of various factors including price volatility, supply factors, external market conditions, etcetera.

  • Price Quote Requests:  Registered Members could request market price quotes for gold / silver they wish to buy / sell in, and could buy and sell at the quoted price by placing orders. Currently this facility is not available.

An order which does not confirm to the specifications laid down by Augmont and the Website shall be considered as void.

Buying / selling Functions
Following functions can be performed by the Registered member:

  • Buy: A Registered member can buy gold in multiples of 100mg (0.1 gm) and silver in multiples of 1 gm. There is no upper limit on purchase quantity. Registered member can buy / sell upto the advance balance available in his/ her website account. Upon successful execution of buying , the purchased Bullion will reflect in the Registered Member’s website Account and the appropriate amount of funds will be reduced from her/his advance balance . On execution of every buy order, Augmont / the Website will purchase corresponding quantity of physical Bullion(as the case may be) and deliver it to the Agent who stores their bullion in the designated secured vaults.

  • Hold: The Bullion purchased by a Registered Member can be stored with the custodian in a designated vault.

  • Sell:  The gold and silver held by a Registered Member can be sold back to Augmont in multiples of 100mg (0.1 gm) and 1 gm respectively. Registered member can sell only the bullion which is lying in the vault on his/her behalf. Upon successful execution of sale, the sold quantity of Bullion will be deducted from the Registered Member’s website Account and the appropriate amount of funds will be added to her/his Account.

SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN

  • Systematic Investment Plan (henceforth referred to as “SIP") is a disciplined accumulation of Gold/Silver. The SIP enables the member to buy gold and silver of a certain fixed amount every month and accumulate Gold/Silver at periodic intervals at a “Configured Price”.

  • The Configured Price for SIP shall be calculated by the Website on every Business Day and shall be displayed on the Website before 1 pm which shall be final and binding for everyone. A Business Day means any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a day declared as holiday under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 or a day on which normal business could not be transacted due to storms, floods, strikes, riots or any other events as Augmont may specify from time to time.

  • To start the SIP, the member needs to log in to his/her account, click on the SIP link and fill in a simple form specifying the choices and submit. After successfully submitting SIP application, the member will get a confirmation sms/email.

  • The member can start their SIP with the minimum amount of Rs. 1000 per month and can invest in multiples of Rs. 1000 thereafter.

  • The member can choose the duration of this SIP which can range from 1 year to 10 years.

  • The member gets an option to choose the SIP date cycle from the four options viz. 5th/12th/19th/26th of every month. e.g. If the member submits the SIP application on 7th October and selects the SIP cycle date as 12th of each month, then the SIP will initiate on 12th October. However, if they choose the SIP cycle date as 5th of each month, then the SIP start date will be 5th November.

  • One cannot change the amount of SIP, duration and cycle date once the request is submitted. In order to change one has to terminate the existing SIP and register for a new one. There are no charges currently for doing the same.

  • The frequency of buying is once per month. So, if the member chooses the SIP amount to be Rs 1000 per month in SIP, Rs. 1000 is utilized for for purchasing the Gold/Silver.

  • In SIP, since the member is contributing a fixed amount for buying gold and silver, it is possible that certain buying will be in fractions as well. So if 1.6 grams of silver is bought today, we term the 1 gram as a Whole part and 0.6 grams as a Fractional part.

While the whole parts are transferred to the main Bullion India Gold or Silver balance at end of each day along with the physical delivery to the designated vaults, the fractional parts get displayed in the SIP section. The member will only be able to request for physical delivery of the whole Parts bought under SIP.

e.g if 1.60 gm Silver is bought on day 1, 1 gm Silver will get reflected in the main balance while remaining 0.60 gm Silver will get reflected in fractional balance. Now on day 2 if 1.70 gm Silver gets bought, than this 1.70 gm Silver and previous fractional balance of 0.60 gm Silver will get added up and from the total 2.30 gm Silver, 2gm Silver will be transferred to the main balance and remaining 0.30 gm Silver will be reflected in fractional balance and the process will continue till the end of the tenure.

The Registered Member can request for termination of his existing SIP by contacting the customer help desk. SIP will be terminated only upon the completion of the current SIP cycle month. e.g. If the member has selected 5th of every month as his SIP cycle date and his SIP is active, and the member decides to exit the SIP on 10th of the month, the cycle will continue till 4th of next month and then terminate.

At the end of SIP tenure or on SIP termination, the member may sell the additional fractional Parts at the market price displayed on Bullion India platform to complete one whole part of gold (100mg) or silver (1g). Alternatively the member can request for termination of his account with us in which case the fractional parts shall get sold at the market rate and the proceeds shall be remitted to the member's bank account.

  • You may not sell Gold / Silver under SIP but you can request the delivery of the gold and silver accumulated during the tenure of the SIP. Alternately you may sell the gold and silver under the SIP at the end of the tenure.

  • In case you miss your monthly SIP installment, you will be given a grace period of 5 days. Within the grace period, if you do not transfer sufficient funds in your account, then your SIP will be treated as ’defaulted’ and your SIP will be irreversibly terminated.

  • The SIP is neither a financial product nor a deposit scheme but a disciplined method of accumulating Gold/Silver. Bullion India offers no investment advice or any assured returns while promoting the SIP.

REPLACEMENT POLICY
The following rules will apply regarding replacement of articles delivered to the customers:

  • Replacement shall be sought in writing no later than three business days from date of delivery to the Registered Member;

  • Replacement shall be subject to return of the delivered articles at Augmont’s office address stated for this purpose on the Website;
