RBI has amended Master Direction – Risk Management and Inter-Bank Dealings to revise compliances governing Non-deliverable derivative contracts (NDDCs)

The newly inserted direction allows banks with an Authorized Dealer Category-I license and operating IBUs to offer NDDCs involving INR to resident non-retail users from their branches in India. This provision is subject to compliance with the guidelines specified in the revised direction mentioned earlier. The transactions in this case must be cash-settled in INR.
