The instrument establishes new Foreign Exchange Management (Guarantees) Regulations, 2026, directing AD Category I banks to apply those regulations when facilitating guarantees involving any person resident outside India, thereby making those regulations the operative compliance standard for such guarantees. It prescribes comprehensive reporting of all guarantees (issued, modified or invoked) to authorised dealer banks in a prescribed GRN form, thereby imposing a mandatory reporting obligation and requiring banks to submit compiled returns in a future-specified manner. It expressly supersedes the listed A.P.
