It also plans to establish a transparent reference rate for the currencies of India\u2019s major trading partners to facilitate such trade. Additionally, the RBI intends to expand the use of Special Rupee Vostro Account (SRVA) balances by permitting investments in corporate bonds and commercial papers, enhancing flexibility and promoting deeper integration of the rupee in regional trade.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Three Steps are:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>First, permit AD banks to lend in Indian Rupees to non-residents from Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka for cross border trade transactions. Authorized Dealer (AD) banks in India will be allowed to give loans in Indian Rupees directly to businesses or entities in Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.<\/li>\n<li>Second, establish transparent reference rates for currencies of India\u2019s major trading partners to facilitate INR based transactions. India will create standard, publicly available exchange rates for the currencies of countries it trades heavily with.<\/li>\n<li>Third, permit wider use of SRVA balances by making them eligible for investment in corporate bonds and commercial papers. Special Rupee Vostro Accounts (SRVA) hold INR funds of foreign banks. The proposal is to allow these balances to be invested in Indian corporate bonds and commercial papers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Varun Yadav\" title=\"Varun Yadav\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-11-at-14.38.33-2025-02-47cdd4fd31681cc3efe5087cb8bd1418.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/varun-yadav-28203.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Varun Yadav<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Varun Yadav is a Sub Editor at News18 Business Digital.
