RBI Introduces Revised Foreign Exchange Management Regulations for Authorised Entities

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has introduced the Foreign Exchange Management (Authorised Persons) Regulations, 2026, effective April 30, 2026, to streamline the authorisation and renewal process for entities dealing in foreign exchange. Under these rules, fresh licences for full-fledged money changers will not be issued, and all entities must obtain RBI approval to operate as authorised persons. The regulations classify applicants into three categories, including banks, NBFCs, and entities offering innovative forex services, with specific eligibility criteria and compliance requirements.
