thebalanced.newsRBI Requires Banks to Report Offshore Rupee OTC Derivatives to CCIL from 2027
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has mandated that authorized dealer category-I banks report all over-the-counter (OTC) foreign exchange derivative contracts involving the Indian rupee, including those executed offshore by related entities, to the Clearing Corporation of India Ltd (CCIL). This move aims to enhance market transparency, improve price discovery, and strengthen risk monitoring. The RBI has provided operational flexibilities, such as exemptions for contracts below USD 1 million and a phased implementation starting July 2027, with reporting thresholds increasing over time. The CCIL is updating its trade repository to support these changes, though some banks have expressed concerns about client confidentiality and system adjustments.
