Legal Updates

09 Jun 2023

AD Banks (with IBU) can offer NDDCs to residents

Overview:
 
The AD Category- I Banks (“AD Banks”) are now allowed to offer non-deliverable derivatives contracts (“NDDCs”) involving INR to resident non-retail users. 
 
Technical Details:

   AD Banks operating an IFSC Banking Unit ("IBU”) are permitted to offer NDDCs to (non-retail) resident users. These contracts are to be cash settled in INR. 

   Previously, AD Banks having an IBU were permitted to offer NDDCs to only non-residents. These NDDCs were cash settled in foreign currency only.

  
Also, flexibility has been introduced to cash settle NDDCs in INR or foreign currency between:
    
     >   2 AD Cat-I banks; and

     >   AD Cat-I bank and a person resident outside India.

   Accordingly, the Master Direction on Risk Management and Interbank Dealings has been amended.  
 
JC Key Takeaways:

●  
This step will boost the INR market. These amendments also provide greater flexibility to users to efficiently design their hedging programs.
