In a 'blow' to liberalisation as old as old wives tales from Delhi ki bhatti, RBI let out a warning from its bag as old hands from Foreign bank desks set out to build treasury positions in Rupee with out Import / Export obligations on behalf of compoany treasuries throughout the country. Right now it may be simpler derivatives, even forwards and cash to play on the weakness in the rupee as the finite returns have quite an attraction for corporate treasuries wilfully blocked from Money maret lending to banks or excessive ticketing in money market mutual funds. 

the citi scam of 2010 used such monies thru personal accounts of the bankers concerned in the Equity Capital Markets segment
