The minimum holding is 1 gram, and the maximum is 4 kg per investor per financial year. Individuals, as well as the Hindu Undivided Family (HUFs) can invest in the sovereign gold bond for as low as one gram and as much as 4kg. However, the maximum investment for trusts and similar businesses is 20kgs.
