The Alert List contains names of entities which are neither authorized to deal in forex under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) nor authorized to operate electronic trading platform (ETP) for forex transactions under the Electronic Trading Platforms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2018.
The Alert List also contains names of entities/platforms/websites which appear to be promoting unauthorized entities/ETPs, including through advertisements of such unauthorized entities or claiming to be providing training/advisory services.
