Government looking at mid 2016 rollout of GST rupees

By
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to allow resident importers to raise trade credit in rupees, with riders. It can be raised after entering into a loan agreement with a foreign lender.
“Trade credit can be raised for import of all items, except gold, permissible under the extant Foreign Trade Policy,” said the regulator on Thursday. The credit period for import of non- capital goods can be up to a year from the date of shipment or up to the operating cycle, whichever is lower.
RBI says the trade credit period for import of capital goods can be up to five years from the date of shipment. No roll- over or extension can be permitted by a bank beyond the permissible period.
Banks can permit trade credit up to $ 20 million equivalent per import transaction. They may give a guarantee, letter of undertaking or letter of comfort in respect of trade credit for a maximum period of three years from the date of shipment.
RBI said the all- in- cost of such rupee- denominated trade credit should be commensurate with prevailing market conditions. Foreign lenders of such trade credits will be eligible to hedge their exposure in rupees through permitted derivative products in the onshore market with a bank in India.
The regulator will separately issue the necessary guidelines for hedging.

The stringent six-month deadline has attracted the ire of several sections of the industry that fear it will lead to a disruption of wel...

Sebi to finalise options in commodities today

By
The Commodity Derivatives Advisory Committee of the Securities and Exchange Board of India ( Sebi) will meet on Friday with senior officials of the latter, to give a final shape to the rules on options trading in commodity futures, beside revising the warehousing norms to ensure good delivery on settlement. The decision taken, after discussing with the advisory committee, will be placed before the regulator’s board, to finalise the regulations.
