Text
The law's own text, section by section, as held. Each section has its own link.
1. Gold purchase bookings may be undertaken during the approved trading period commencing each morning and ending at 8:00 p.m. on every trading day.
2. Every licensed gold buyer shall issue a receipt for each purchase transaction immediately upon completion of the transaction.
3. Every receipt issued must clearly indicate, among other relevant particulars, the exact time of purchase.
4. All purchase receipts and supporting records shall be properly maintained and made available for inspection upon demand by the GoldBod or its authorised officers. The GoldBod wishes to emphasize that the failure to promptly book purchases, maintain proper transaction records, issue receipts containing the required information, or otherwise comply with this directive constitutes a violation of Section 64 (1) (c) and (2) of the Ghana Gold Board Act, 2025 (Act 1140) and shall attract the applicable sanctions and enforcement measures prescribed under the Act. All licensed gold buyers are therefore advised to comply fully and immediately. BY ORDER OF THE GHANA GOLD BOARD (GOLDBOD) ISSUED THIS DAY 23RD OF JUNE 2026 <!-- page break -->
