The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has levied a penalty of Rs 36.38 lakh on HSBC Limited for breaching regulations outlined in the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). Specifically, HSBC failed to adhere to reporting requirements under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme of FEMA, 1999. The central bank’s action follows a thorough review of the case, including HSBC’s response to a show cause notice issued earlier.
The RBI found that HSBC had not complied with the reporting obligations stipulated under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme of FEMA, 1999. Despite being obligated to do so, HSBC failed to provide the necessary reports, prompting the regulatory action.
In response to the show cause notice, HSBC submitted both written and oral explanations. However, after careful consideration of the facts presented by HSBC, the RBI concluded that the violations were substantiated and warranted the imposition of a penalty.
The RBI clarified that its penalty imposition is based on identified deficiencies in regulatory compliance. It emphasized that the action does not pass judgment on the validity of any transaction or agreement between HSBC and its customers.
