Prithvi Exchange (India) Ltd has been granted a Perpetual License under the Authorised Dealer Category-II (AD-II) by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) effective August 13, 2026. This license is a significant regulatory milestone as it allows the company to process trade remittances and outward remittances for family maintenance, which were previously restricted. The 'perpetual' status is particularly beneficial as it removes the administrative burden and uncertainty of periodic license renewals. For a company with a high-volume, low-margin profile (0.1% TTM operating margin), this expansion into higher-value remittance services is a strategic necessity.
