Removal of Gold import restriction ( 80:20 ) by RBI

After almost more than one year RBI removed the restriction it had imposed on Gold Import .

RBI had put restriction on Import of Gold in August 2013 to cool down the current account deficit and keep the exchange rate under control

Under the restriction imposed , Imorter had to Export back  atleast 20% of he Imported Gold after value adition

Subsequently , The UPA Goernment had gien exemption to few selected Importer from this requirment

Now all restriction has been removed by RBI and there will be no requirment of exporting back 20%

It is really surprising that RBI has removed this restriction at a time when Gold Import has again started going up .
