Meera, a Company Secretary, is explaining why fintech firms choose GIFT IFSC. Which feature correctly reflects the IFSCA framework?

IFSCA is a unified regulator for financial services in IFSCs, so fintech firms in GIFT IFSC deal with one authority instead of several Indian financial regulators. This single-window feature is correct; the claims of exemption from all laws, rupee-only dealing or listing-only regulation are wrong.

  1. AIFSCA acts as a single regulator, which reduces the need to approach multiple Indian financial regulators for IFSC activitiesCorrect
  2. BFintech firms in IFSC are exempt from every law of any kind
  3. CIFSC units may transact only in Indian rupees with residents
  4. DIFSCA only regulates securities listing and nothing else
