FEMA 2026 RBI’s Ne w Rules for Import-Export Effective from October 1, 2026
Preparing Organizations for Automated Trade Compliance & Enforcement Effective October 1, 2026
Full-Day Classroom Seminar
Course Overview
With the implementation of the Foreign Exchange Management (Export and Import of Goods and Services) Regulations, 2026, India’s trade compliance ecosystem is moving from manual oversight to a fully system-driven enforcement environment effective October 1, 2026.
Under this new framework, Authorized Dealer (AD) Banks will act as primary regulators, while EDPMS and IDPMS systems will monitor and flag transactions in real time. Compliance data will be integrated across DGFT, GST, and enforcement authorities, significantly increasing visibility into unresolved entries, mismatches, delayed realizations, and documentation gaps.
This workshop is designed as a highly practical session to help organizations understand operational risks, close pending exposures, strengthen reconciliation processes, and prepare for the new automated enforcement regime before transaction disruptions begin impacting business continuity.
