Indian minister of state for finance Bhagwat Kishanrao Karad recently told the upper house of parliament that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has permitted banks from 18 countries to open special vostro rupee accounts (SVRAs) to settle payments in rupees and RBI has approved requests from 60 such banks. The SVRA process began last year.

The countries are Botswana, Fiji, Germany, Guyana, Israel, Kenya, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, New Zealand, Oman, Russia, Seychelles, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Uganda and the United Kingdom.

SVRAs could be set up by the banks by approaching the authorised dealer banks in India and it may then get permission from the RBI after completion of the due process.

Russia has been vocal in using the Indian rupee for trade and for ‘de-dollarisation’, Karad added.
