    Solution

    IFSC provides an opportunity to global businesses to set up wide variety of business verticals in Banking, Insurance, Fund/Asset management, Capital Markets and Trading, IT services and ITeS/BPO services. Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) is the first IFSC that was set up in Gujarat in 2015. Earlier the different business segments in IFSC were governed by different regulators namely Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for banking and capital market undertakings, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) for fund management and capital markets and Insurance and Regulatory Development Authority of India (IRDAI) for Insurance. Recognizing the need for co-ordination amongst all the regulators to ensure smooth business operations in IFSC, GoI established a unified regulator i.e., International Financial Service Centers Authority (IFSCA) under the IFSC Act to govern activities of all units established in IFSC .   IFSCA was established in April 2020 and its current Chairman is Mr. Injeti Srinivas.
