What is the expiry date of Gold Futures contracts?

Gold futures expire on the 5th day of the expiry month of the futures contract.

Can I take physical delivery of gold through Gold Futures?

Yes, physical delivery of gold can be taken through gold futures. However, you must check with your trading platform or broker if it permits and facilitates physical delivery.
