RBI Tightens Forex Derivative Rules and Opens Dollar Window to Support Rupee
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has tightened rules on rupee-linked foreign exchange derivatives to support the rupee amid pressure near record lows. Key changes include restricting rebooking of cancelled contracts, reducing the threshold for transactions without underlying exposure from 100 million to 5 million, and introducing a 20% cash reserve requirement for certain derivative trades. Additionally, RBI opened a special dollar window for three state-run oil companies to meet their dollar needs directly, aiming to ease volatility in the forex market.
