Chandigarh [India], August 8: Paul Merchants has been helping Indians connect with the world by providing foreign exchange services for travellers, facilitating various types of overseas remittances like education remittances, medical treatment remittances, travel remittances, conference and event participation remittances and more. Over the years, the company has evolved into one of India’s most trusted names in foreign exchange and cross-border financial services, backed by a strong commitment to regulatory compliance, customer trust and responsible business practices.
Now, Paul Merchants is poised to enter its next phase of growth, with the RBI granting its approval for a perpetual licence to operate as an Authorised Dealer Category-II under the Foreign Exchange Management (Authorised Persons) Regulations, 2026. The licence significantly broadens the scope of services offered by the Company by authorising it to undertake additional non-trade current account transactions permissible under FEMA (excluding gifts and donations) and foreign trade transactions up to Rs. 25 lakh per transaction.
