You can legally trade gold in India mainly through SEBI-regulated exchanges and intermediaries, especially MCX, Gold ETFs, and Electronic Gold Receipts (EGRs). Avoid unregistered apps, offshore CFD platforms, and “dabba trading.”

📌 For active trading, use:
1. A broker listed as a SEBI-registered intermediary.
2. The broker’s MCX commodity segment, after completing the required account activation and risk disclosures.
3. Exchange-listed contracts rather than private WhatsApp groups, unlicensed apps, or guaranteed-return schemes.
📌 What to avoid:
- Offshore XAU/USD or gold-CFD platforms marketed to Indian residents.
- Unregistered “investment advisers” taking money into pooled gold trades.
- Dabba trading or trades settled outside the recognised exchange.
- Assuming that an app offering “digital gold” provides the same protection as a Gold ETF or MCX contract.
Gold futures and options are leveraged derivatives, so losses can exceed a small initial deposit. For simpler long-term exposure, a Gold ETF is generally more straightforward; for buying and selling price movements, MCX through a registered broker is the principal regulated route.
