Govt urged to allow foreign currency transactions in country via RBI
April 25, 2023
At present a transaction fee is levied on US dollars transactions within the country.
For example, a payment in US dollars from Delhi to even nearby Faridabad from one entity to the other in the current dispensation, is required to be undertaken through the US banking system.
“This should be undertaken directly through the Reserve Bank of India and there should be no requirement of routing them through the American Banking system.
“By routing the transactions through the American Banking system, the country is losing substantial money, which is going to the Americans towards transaction costs,” ambassador for Asia-Pacific region for the International Federation of Consulting Engineers K K Kapila said in a statement.
Kapila pointed out that a small country like the Philippines does not route its internal foreign exchange transactions through the United States.
