How to Present Regulatory Information Accurately
Avoid: ‘Forex trading is illegal in India’ (incorrect — exchange-traded currency derivatives are fully legal). Avoid: ‘Trading with offshore brokers is completely legal’ (incorrect under strict FEMA interpretation). Accurate: ‘Exchange-traded currency derivatives on NSE/BSE are fully legal. Trading with offshore brokers for spot forex exists in a regulatory grey area under FEMA and RBI guidelines.’
