On June 24, 2026, the Reserve Bank of India issued Circular No. 17, addressing modifications to the reporting requirements under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. This modification is aimed at simplifying the compliance processes for Authorized Persons dealing with foreign exchange transactions.
