Annex I

[See Part C, Paragraph 2]

A. Guidelines for Foreign Exchange Exposure Limits of Authorised Dealers

The Foreign Exchange Exposure Limits of Authorised Dealers would be dual in nature.

  1. Net Overnight Open Position Limit (NOOPL) for calculation of capital charge on forex risk.

  2. Limit for positions involving Rupee as one of the currencies (NOP-INR) for exchange rate management.

For banks incorporated in India, the exposure limits fixed by the Board should be the aggregate for all branches including their overseas branches and Off-shore Banking Units. For foreign banks, the limits will cover only their branches in India.

i. Net Overnight Open Position Limit (NOOPL) for calculation of capital charge on forex risk

NOOPL may be fixed by the boards of the respective Authorised Dealers and communicated to the Reserve Bank immediately through CIMS / email. However, such limits should not exceed 25 percent of the total capital (Tier I and Tier II capital) of the Authorised Dealer.

The Net Open position may be calculated as per the method given below:

1. Calculation of the Net Open Position in a Single Currency

The open position must first be measured separately for each foreign currency. The open position in a currency is the sum of (a) the net spot position, (b) the net forward position and (c) the net options position.

a) Net Spot Position

The net spot position is the difference between foreign currency assets and the liabilities in the balance sheet. This should include all accrued income/expenses.

b) Net Forward Position

This represents the net of all amounts to be received less all amounts to be paid in the future as a result of foreign exchange transactions which have been concluded. These transactions, which are recorded as off-balance sheet items in the Authorised Dealers' books, would include:

  1. spot transactions which are not yet settled;

  2. forward transactions;

  3. Guarantees and similar commitments denominated in foreign currencies which are certain to be called;

  4. Net future income/expenses not yet accrued but already fully hedged (at the discretion of the reporting Authorised Dealer);

  5. Net of amounts to be received/paid in respect of currency futures, and the principal on currency futures/swaps.

c) Net Options Position

The options position is the "delta-equivalent" spot currency position as reflected in the authorised dealer's options risk management system, and includes any delta hedges in place which have not already been included under 1(a) or 1(b) (i) and (ii) above.

2. Calculation of the Overall Net Open Position

This involves measurement of risks inherent in Authorised Dealers' mix of long and short position in different currencies. It has been decided to adopt the "shorthand method" which is accepted internationally for arriving at the overall net open position. Authorised Dealers  may, therefore, calculate the overall net open position as follows:

i. Calculate the net open position in each currency (paragraph 1 above).

ii. Calculate the net open position in gold.

iii. Convert the net position in various currencies and gold into Rupees in terms of existing RBI / FEDAI Guidelines. All derivative transactions including forward exchange contracts should be reported on the basis of Present Value (PV) adjustment.

iv. Arrive at the sum of all the net short positions.

v. Arrive at the sum of all the net long positions.

Overall net foreign exchange position is the higher of (iv) or (v). The overall net foreign exchange position arrived at as above must be kept within the limit approved by the Authorised Dealers' Board.

Note: Authorised Dealers should report all derivative transactions including forward exchange contracts on the basis of PV adjustment for the purpose of calculation of the net open position. Authorised Dealers may select their own yield curve for the purpose of PV adjustments. Authorised Dealers however should have an internal policy approved by their ALCO regarding the yield curve/(s) to be used and apply it on a consistent basis.

3. Offshore exposures

For banks with overseas presence, the offshore exposures should be calculated on a standalone basis as per the above method and should not be netted with onshore exposures. The aggregate limit (on-shore + off-shore) may be termed Net Overnight open Position (NOOP) and will be subjected to capital charge. Accumulated surplus of foreign branches need not be reckoned for calculation of open position. An illustrative example is as follows:

If a bank has, let us say three foreign branches and the three branches have open position as below-

Branch A: + Rs 15 crores

Branch B: + Rs 5 crores

Branch C: - Rs 12 crores

The open position for the overseas branches taken together would be Rs 20 crores.

4. Capital Requirement

As prescribed by the Reserve Bank from time to time.

5. Other Guidelines

i. ALCO / Internal Audit Committee of the Authorised Dealers should monitor the utilization of and adherence to the limits.

ii. Authorised Dealers should also have a system in place to demonstrate, whenever required, the various components of the NOOP as prescribed in the guidelines for verification by Reserve Bank.

iii. Transactions undertaken by Authorised Dealers till the end of business day may be computed for calculation of Foreign Exchange Exposure Limits. The transactions undertaken after the end of business day may be taken into the positions for the next day. The end of day time may be approved by the Authorised Dealers' Board.

ii. Limit for positions involving Rupee as one of the currencies (NOP-INR) for exchange rate management

  1. NOP-INR may be prescribed to Authorised Dealers at the discretion of the Reserve Bank of India depending on the market conditions.

  2. The NOP-INR positions may be calculated by netting off the long & short onshore positions (as arrived at by the short hand method) plus the net INR positions of offshore branches.

  3. Positions undertaken by Authorised Dealers in currency futures / options traded in exchanges will form part of the NOP-INR.

  4. As regards option position, any excesses on account of large option Greeks during volatile market closing / revaluations may be treated as technical breaches. However, such breaches are to be monitored by the Authorised Dealers with proper audit trail. Such breaches should also be regularized and ratified by appropriate authorities (ALCO / Internal Audit Committee).

B. Aggregate Gap Limits (AGL)

i. AGL may be fixed by the boards of the respective Authorised Dealers and communicated to the Reserve Bank immediately through CIMS / email. However, such limits should not exceed 6 times the total capital (Tier I and Tier II capital) of the Authorised Dealer.

ii. However, Authorised Dealers which have instituted superior measures such as tenor wise PV01 limits and VaR to aggregate foreign exchange gap risks are allowed to fix their own PV01 and VaR limits based on their capital, risk bearing capacity etc. in place of AGL and communicate the same to the Reserve Bank. The procedure and calculation of the limit should be clearly documented as an internal policy and strictly adhered to.


Annex II

[see Part E, paragraph (i)]

Reporting of Forex Turnover Data - FTD and GPB

The guidelines and formats for preparation of the FTD and GPB reports are given below. Authorised Dealers may ensure that the reports are properly compiled on the basis of these guidelines: The data for a particular date has to reach us by the close of business of the following working day.

FTD

1. SPOT - Cash and tom transactions are to be included under ‘Spot’ transactions.

2. SWAP - Only foreign exchange swaps between Authorised Dealers should be reported under swap transactions. Long term swaps (both cross currency and foreign currency-Rupee swaps) should not be included in this report. Swap transactions should be reported only once and should not be included under either the 'spot' or 'forward' transactions. Buy/Sell swaps should be included in the 'Purchase' side under 'Swaps' while Sell/buy swaps should figure on the 'Sale' side.

3. Cancellation of forwards - The amount required to be reported under cancellation of forward contracts against purchases from merchants should be the aggregate of cancelled forward merchant sale contracts by Authorised Dealers (adding to the supply in the market). On the sale side of cancelled forward contracts, aggregate of the cancelled forward purchase contracts should be indicated (adding to the demand in the market).

4 ‘FCY/FCY’ transactions - Both the legs of the transactions should be reported in the respective columns. For example in a EUR/USD purchase contract, the EUR amount should be included in the purchase side while the USD amount should be included in the sale side.

5. Transactions with RBI should be included in inter-bank transactions. Transactions with financial institutions other than entities authorised to deal in foreign exchange should be included under merchant transactions.

GPB

1. Foreign Currency Balances - Cash balances and investments in all foreign currencies should be converted into US dollars and reported under this head.

2. Net open exchange position- This should indicate the overall overnight net open exchange position of the Authorised Dealer in Rs. Crore. The net overnight open position should be calculated on the basis of the instructions given in Annex I.

3. Of the above FCY/INR- The amount to be reported is the position against the Rupee- i.e. the net overnight open exchange position less cross currency position, if any.
