RBI Proposes Draft Rules to Simplify and Modernize Foreign Investment Regulations
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed draft rules to simplify and modernize foreign investment regulations, replacing the 2019 Non-Debt Instruments Rules. The framework aims to reduce compliance burdens, improve clarity, and align procedural provisions under FEMA with the government's FDI policy. It broadens eligible investment vehicles to include entities like REITs and AIFs, and introduces provisions for overseas listing of Indian companies. Public comments on the draft are invited until August 31, 2026.
