21 Nov 2023 Evaluate

The Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has amended the import policy condition for gold. The amended policy allowed valid India-UAE TRQ (tariff rate quota) holders to import gold through India International Bullion Exchange (IIBX) and can obtained physical delivery of the imported gold through IFSCA registered vaults located in special economic zone (SEZ), adhering to the guidelines prescribed by IFSCA.

Import is allowed through nominated agencies as notified by RBI (in case of banks) or DGFT (for other agencies). Gold Dore can be imported by refineries against an import license with Actual User (AU) condition. The exchange has been conceptualised to provide a gateway to import bullion into India and provide a world-class bullion exchange ecosystem to promote bullion trading, investment in bullion financial products and vaulting facilities in IFSCs.

IIBX was launched in July 2022. IIBX is promoted by India's leading market infrastructure institutions like NSE, INDIA INX (a subsidiary of BSE), NSDL, CDSL and MCX. IIBX is established at GIFT IFSC, Gandhinagar and regulated by the International Financial Services Centres Authority.
