RBI:
RBI with a view to provide greater flexibility for structuring of trade credit arrangements, has decided that the resident importer can raise trade credit in Rupees (INR) within the prescribed framework after entering into a loan agreement with the overseas lender being overseas supplier, bank and financial institution for import of capital and non-capital goods into India. Trade credit can be raised for import of all items (except gold) permissible under the extant Foreign Trade Policy and credit period for import of non-capital goods can be upto one year and for import of capital goods can be upto five years from the date of shipment. Further, overseas lenders of Rupee (INR) denominated trade credits will be eligible to hedge their exposure in Rupees through permitted derivative products in the on-shore market with an AD Category – I bank in India. Necessary guidelines for hedging will be issued separately.
