Sebi has revised its regulations to permit domestic and foreign portfolio investors to take positions in currency derivatives. Investors can now hold up to USD 5 million without establishing underlying exposure. The new guidelines also require FPIs to ensure their short positions do not exceed this limit. For amounts above the threshold, FPIs must have underlying exposure in Indian debt or equity securities.

Why this matters

Regulatory and legal changes affect how businesses file, pay and stay compliant. Even small amendments can change deadlines, disclosures or penalties, so it pays to understand the context before acting.

What to watch

Track the official notification or judgment for exact wording and effective dates. If your business is directly affected, review your filings, contracts and internal timelines with a qualified professional.
