It's Akshaya&nbsp;Tritiya&nbsp;on Friday&nbsp;and yes, its one of those auspicious days when you buy gold! So, how can you invest in the safe haven without stepping out of your house especially when its all locked-down? editorji&nbsp;tells you five options:
1. Digital gold: There are multiple fintech&nbsp;platforms offering you to buy gold online for as little as ₹1. Just like jewellers, these platforms allow anyone to buy or sell gold but digitally. However, some also offer to take physical delivery. You can try Paytm, Google pay, PhonePe, etc.
2. Gold ETFs: These are gold-backed exchange-traded funds. Gold ETFs&nbsp;invest your money in gold and they are listed on stock exchanges. Anyone with a demat account can invest in Gold ETFs&nbsp;through their regular broker.
3. Gold Mutual Funds: Just like equity mutual funds, gold mutual funds park your money in the commodity. They intend to give you better returns than conventional gold.
4. Gold Bonds: One can invest in Sovereign Gold bonds through the Reserve Bank of India. Gold bonds provide 2-3% annual return on investment along with the appreciation in the value of the underlying commodity.
5. Monthly Investment Plan: Many local jewellers offer a monthly investment plan under which you can invest a small amount over a period of time and at the end of it you get gold jewellery of the aggregate value. With restrictions in most of the cities, a lot of local jewellers are accepting online payments as well.
