RBI press release 2022-2023/835 dated 07-09-2022
A resident persons can undertake forex transactions only with authorised persons and for permitted purposes, in terms of the FEMA. While permitted forex transactions can be executed electronically, they should be undertaken only on Electronic Trading Platforms (ETPs) authorised for the purpose by the RBI or on recognised stock exchanges viz., National Stock Exchange of India Ltd., BSE Ltd. and Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India Ltd.
RBI cautioned public not to undertake forex transactions on unauthorised ETPs or remit/deposit money for such unauthorised transactions. RBI has issued an “Alert List” of entities which are neither authorised to deal in forex under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) nor authorised to operate electronic trading platforms for forex transactions. RBI has further clarified that the Alert List is not exhaustive and is based on what was known to RBI at the time of this Press Release. RBI further clarified that an entity not appearing in the Alert List should not be assumed to be authorised by the RBI. The authorisation status of any person / ETP can be ascertained from the list of authorised persons and authorised ETPs, which are already made available in the RBI website.
Resident persons undertaking forex transactions for purposes other than those 2 permitted under the FEMA or on ETPs not authorised by the RBI shall render themselves liable for legal action under the FEMA.
