


Place current stock of non-jewellery gold with the banking system and earn a nominal
rate of interest
All other benefits of e-form of gold
Is able to earn some nominal interest on his GDA
Does not have to spend on storage of gold
For Bank

GDA with the bank can potentially qualify for SLR
Economy

Deferment of gold imports and hence lower pressure on the current account deficit and
Rupee.
Impact

Banks could increase their lending considering the SLR status of the GDA

Lowering the pressure on CAD and Rupee, the GB can play an important role in
preserving RBI's FX Reserves

The expected incremental increase in bank lending (and deposits through the multiplier
impact) could increase the money supply (M3) in the economy
