India's RBI extends export realisation and export credit timelines
Change
India's RBI extended the permissible export realisation and repatriation period to 15 months and extended an enhanced export credit tenor of 450 days for disbursals made through June 30, 2026.
Why it matters
Short-term liquidity pressures for exporters are reduced because payments may be deferred over a longer window. Banks and forex desks must manage prolonged foreign-exchange exposure and reconcile delayed inflows against end-of-day exposure limits.
Implications
- • Authorized dealer banks' forex desks must limit net open foreign-exchange exposure to $100 million by the end of each business day while accommodating longer realisation cycles.
- • Banks providing export credit must apply the 450-day enhanced credit tenor only to disbursals made on or before June 30, 2026 and adjust documentation and monitoring accordingly.
