RBI Announces Reserve Bank of India (Trade Relief Measures) Directions, 2025

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently issued a notification (No. RBI/2025-26/96) on November 14, 2025 regarding Reserve Bank of India (Trade Relief Measures) Directions, 2025.

RBI is legally responsible for making sure the country’s credit and loan system works smoothly. Because global problems have disrupted trade and made it harder for businesses to repay their loans, the RBI wants to reduce the pressure on borrowers and help good, functioning businesses continue running.

So, after reviewing the situation and deciding that it is important for the public, the RBI is introducing certain rules and guidelines to provide this relief.

RBI issues these directions in powers given by sections 21, 35A and 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949,  sections 45JA, 45L and 45M of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934; section 6 of the Factoring Regulation Act, 2011; sections 30A, 32 and 33 of the National Housing Bank Act, 1987 and section 11 of the Credit Information Companies (Regulation) Act, 2005.

These Directions will be known as the Reserve Bank of India (Trade Relief Measures) Directions, 2025.

Note: These Directions will come into effect soon.
