Step 1: Open a Demat and Trading Account If you already have a demat account, maybe you already invest in shares or mutual funds, you can skip this step and use the same account. If you do not have one, here is how to open it: Choose a broker. Popular choices in India include Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, ICICI Direct, HDFC Securities, and Angel One. Download the broker's app or visit their website. Fill in your details and complete the KYC, Know Your Customer, process. You will need your PAN card, Aadhaar card, a bank account, and sometimes a short selfie video. Some brokers charge a small one-time fee to open the account. Many offer free account opening. Your account is usually ready within 24 to 48 hours. Step 2: Add Money to Your Trading Account Once your account is open, link your bank account to it. You can add money using net banking or UPI, just like you would top up any other app. You do not need to add a huge amount. Gold ETF units can cost as little as ₹100 to ₹135 each, depending on the fund. So even ₹500 to ₹1,000 is enough to get started. Step 3: Search for the Gold ETF You Want to Buy Open your broker's app and use the search bar to look for a Gold ETF. Each fund has its own short code, called a ticker symbol. For example: GOLDBEES is Nippon India ETF Gold BeES HDFCGOLD is HDFC Gold ETF SETFGOLD is SBI Gold ETF Step 4: Place Your Buy Order Once you have picked the fund, you place a buy order, the same way you would buy a stock. Tap "Buy" on the fund's page. Enter the number of units you want to buy. If you want to invest ₹5,000 and the unit price is ₹125, you can buy about 40 units. Choose your order type: Market order: buys immediately at the current price. Simple and quick, good for small purchases. Limit order: you set the highest price you are willing to pay. The order only goes through if the price is at or below what you set. This gives you more control, especially for larger purchases. Confirm the order. That is it. Your order gets placed during market hours, which are 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM on trading days. Step 5: Check Your Holding After your order goes through, the units are added to your demat account. This can take up to two working days to fully settle, though most brokers show the units in your account right away. You can check your holdings anytime by opening your broker's app and looking at your portfolio or holdings section. The value will move up or down slightly every day, following the price of gold.
