About the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA)
- The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) was formed in April 2020 through the enactment of the International Financial Services Centres Authority Act, 2019. Its headquarters is situated in GIFT City, Gandhinagar.
- The IFSCA serves as a unified regulatory body responsible for the development and supervision of financial products, services, and institutions within the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) in India.
