The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has amended the rules on how Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) and other residents outside India can make investments, receive sale proceeds and how such transactions can be reported to the central bank. One of the major changes is that a person residing outside India (NRIs and OCIs) can now maintain a designated repatriable rupee account for investments made on a repatriable basis. These regulations, known as Foreign Exchange Management (Mode of Payment and Reporting of NonDebt Instruments) (Amendment) Regulations, 2026, came into force on June 13, 2026 .
