Brokers Seek RBI Relaxation on Bank Funding Restrictions for Proprietary Traders

The Association of NSE Members of India (ANMI) met with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) officials to seek relaxation of upcoming restrictions on bank funding for proprietary traders in capital markets, effective from July 1. ANMI representatives argued that proprietary traders provide market liquidity through two-way quotes and spread trades, which are not purely speculative. While the RBI listened to these concerns, it made no commitment to easing the curbs. The meeting follows RBI's earlier deferral of related guidelines until July 1.
