Banks to report all related party forex derivative transactions: RBI

Mumbai: RBI has required banks to report all foreign exchange derivative deals involving the rupee undertaken in India and globally by their entire group, including overseas branches, subsidiaries, and parent entities. This brings into view offshore trades that were earlier largely invisible. This applies to both OTC deliverable and offshore non-deliverable contracts, meaning even speculative offshore bets on the rupee must now be disclosed. Banks now must report detailed transaction data-size, counterparty, maturity, and structure-no later than two working days, though trades below $1 million and certain already-reported or internal hedging transactions are exempt.
