"Apart from investing in the stock market and mutual funds, Upstox customers can now also invest online in gold," said Upstox, which is also known as RKSV Securities India.
The platform, as per the company, enables customers to buy 24-karat digital gold of 99.9 percent purity at live market rates, updated in real-time on the platform.
The purchased gold can then be converted into physical coins or bars or stored in the vault, Upstox said.

Upstox said it has partnered with Augmont, an integrated precious metals management company, that empowers customers to begin investing in digital gold, starting at just Rs 1.
