The central bank mandates that, from January 1, 2026, Authorised Dealer Category-II banks, entities, and full-fledged money changers must directly submit a "LRS daily return" (including nil returns) on the Centralised Information Management System. They will gain CIMS access to verify cumulative PAN-wise remittances under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme in the current financial year before processing further transactions.
