RBI Alert List Velocity: how fast India's unauthorised-forex list grows

48 → 95
entities on the RBI's unauthorised-forex Alert List between the first captured version (Feb 2023) and the current one (November 19, 2025) — a 98% expansion in under three years.

Additions per dated list version

The RBI updates the list irregularly (roughly 2–4× a year). Counts below compare consecutive captured versions of the official page, so each bar aggregates every update inside that interval — an honest floor, not a per-announcement count.

Nov 24, 2023+27
Oct 22, 2024+13
Nov 19, 2025+7

The 7 names added in the latest update (November 19, 2025)

RBI's caveat, verbatim:
The Alert List contains names of entities which are neither authorised to deal in forex under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) nor authorised to operate electronic trading platform (ETP) for forex transactions under the Master Direction – Reserve Bank of India (Electronic Trading Platforms) Directions, 2025 dated June 16, 2025. The Alert List also contains names of entities/platforms/websites which appear to be promoting unauthorised entities/ETPs, including through advertisements of such unauthorised entities or claiming to be providing training/advisory services. This list is not exhaustive. An entity not appearing in the list should not be assumed to be authorised by the RBI.
