Maybe I'm wrong but i read it as being able to trade in multi currencies and not just those paired with the INR.... And that will only be possible if you're doing it in USD etc.... That's why they have put caps on the amount you can trade in USD ....
Let's see how it goes and what unfolds....
k
This means retail clients can now directly buy/sell USD online via the portal instead of buying via the bank. (Earlier this had to be done via the customer's Bank ). Earlier CCIL would be responsible for clearing and settlement only. Now CCIL is coming up with its own platform on which clients can trade directly with the clearing house.
CCIL is clearing corporation of India which is responsible clearing and settlement of Forex and other various financial securities. Bank is front end and CCIL is the back end. Just like how a broker like zerodha is front end and there is a clearing house in the back end to clear and settle trades.
This is used for hard currency transactions limited to USD/INR only.
