Banks push RBI for forex cap relief amid loss fears

Source: economictimes.indiatimes.com

Indian banks are urging the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to ease a new forex trading limit that caps their exposure at 25% of tier-1 capital. Industry leaders argue the rule, meant to curb risks in currency markets, will hit profits hard and shrink lending capacity. This matters because it could slow economic growth by limiting banks' ability to trade currencies profitably amid India's rising forex needs.
