Physical gold: Tangible asset, no counterparty risk, making charges apply, storage concerns, purity verification needed. Digital gold: Buy from ₹1, no storage hassles, guaranteed purity, easy liquidity, slight premium over physical gold. Both are good - choose based on your investment amount and convenience preference.
