All Chief Executives of
Exchange Companies
Dear
Sirs,
Outward
Remittances on Account of Trade Related Transactions /
Payment of Services / Commission
It has been observed that certain Exchange Companies are
indulging in outward remittances on account of trade related
transactions / payment of services / commission etc. In
this respect, attention of the Exchange Companies is drawn
to the Rules & Regulations governing their business,
in terms of which an exchange Company is authorized to effect
outward remittances only on personal account of individuals
i.e. personal financial transactions and not those related
to an individual’s trade or business requirements.
Further, as per F.E Circular No.9 of July 30, 2002, corporate
clients may approach for remittances only on account of
payment of royalty, technical / franchise fee, provided
NOC to this effect is provided to the Exchange Companies
from the designated Authorized Dealers.
All Exchange Companies are, therefore, advised to strictly
adhere to the Rules & Regulations and not effect remittance
on account of trade related activities / payments against
services / commission etc., whether on account of individual
or on behalf of corporate clients. In order to ensure adherence
to the above in true sprit, while accepting funds for remittances
abroad, Exchange Companies are advised to exercise maximum
care and carry out necessary due diligence on their part
to ensure that the remittances are on personal account only
and in no way these relate to trade related transactions.
