The rule, in the simplest words
RBI shared numbers for foreign money trades between banks and customers for June 1-5, 2026.
The numbers are in US dollars and are not final (provisional).
Trades are split into two types: between bank and customer (merchant) and between banks (inter-bank).
Each type shows buying and selling of foreign money for Indian rupees or other foreign money.
The data includes trades done today (spot), future trades (forward), and cancelling future trades.
How it plays out — a real example
Ravi, a treasury manager at a large private bank, checks the June 1-5 data and sees that merchant spot purchases of FCY/INR on June 1 were $8,862 million. He uses this to adjust his bank's liquidity buffers for the next week.
