Background

A review of the existing facilities for hedging of foreign exchange risk by non-residents and residents was announced in the Statement on Developmental and Regulatory Policies in February 2018 and August 2018 respectively.

Post review, a draft of the revised directions is being put in the public domain for seeking comments. The draft directions propose to, inter alia:
