<h1>Gold ETFs Adapt: Invest in Gold Deposit Schemes Since 2013, Amid Regulatory Changes and Import Duty Revisions.</h1> A gold exchange traded fund (ETF) invests in gold and related instruments, aiming to track gold prices, with returns dependent on gold's performance. As of June 30, 2015, there were 13 Gold ETFs with assets under management totaling Rs. 6,51,636 crores. Initially, regulations required Gold ETFs to invest mainly in physical gold, but since February 2013, they can invest up to 20% in Gold Deposit Schemes of banks. To address the Current Account Deficit, the government increased customs duty on gold imports and introduced the 20:80 scheme, which was later withdrawn in November 2014 due to a moderating trend.
