Summary
The government has amended its Foreign Trade Policy to ease rupee invoicing for exporters. Eligible rupee receipts now qualify for export benefits and obligations, aligning with new regulations. This change applies to exports to all countries, with specific rules for ACU members. Rupee settlements may reduce costs and risks for Indian exporters. The amendment aims to support wider international use of the Indian rupee.
