RBI Rule Tweak Opens Door to $50 Billion Inflows Into India as Deposit Plan Expands

Summary
$50 billion in additional inflows could enter India after the RBI altered a single sentence in a central-bank circular tied to a new foreign-currency deposit incentive plan.
The change broadened the scope of eligible funds under the scheme, turning what looked like a technical clarification into a potentially large opening for overseas money.
Indian bank shares had already rallied after the RBI detailed the foreign-currency deposit rules earlier Tuesday, helping the Nifty snap a two-day losing streak.
The move underscores how narrowly worded regulatory changes can quickly reshape capital-flow expectations and market sentiment in India.
