Authorised Dealers are prohibited from offering non-deliverable derivative contracts involving INR to resident or non-resident users, while deliverable foreign exchange derivative contracts may continue only for hedging purposes and where the user does not hold offsetting non-deliverable positions.

The directions take immediate effect and remain operative until further review.
