flag India’s central bank will ban bank loans for trading and demand full collateral starting April 1, slashing derivative trading and threatening smaller firms.

flag India’s Reserve Bank of India is set to ban bank loans for proprietary trading and require 100% collateral for broker funding starting April 1, potentially cutting derivative trading volumes by up to 20% and slashing profit margins. flag The move targets rapid growth in India’s equity derivatives market, now larger than its cash market and linked to widespread losses among retail investors. flag Smaller trading firms face existential threats due to reduced access to cheap financing, while larger and foreign firms may shift operations offshore. flag Industry groups urge a six-month delay, but regulators have not commented.
