Indian Masterminds Stories

New Delhi / Gandhinagar: In a key bureaucratic move, the Central Government has appointed Gyan Chand Jain, a 2006-batch officer of the Indian Revenue Service (Customs & Indirect Taxes), as the Chief General Manager (CGM) of the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA).

Currently serving as Commissioner of the Jammu GST & Central Excise Commissionerate, Jain will assume his new position on central deputation for a period of three years.

IFSCA: A Strategic National Regulator Based in GIFT City

The IFSCA, headquartered at GIFT City in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, was established on April 27, 2020, under the IFSCA Act, 2019, to serve as India’s first and only unified regulator for international financial services.

Prior to its establishment, the regulatory oversight of financial activities within India’s International Financial Services Centres (IFSCs) was fragmented across multiple domestic regulators: the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI).

IFSCA’s creation marked a transformative shift in India’s approach to regulating and promoting international finance, bringing all regulatory functions under one authority.

Mandate to Shape Global-Standard Financial Ecosystems

The IFSCA’s mandate is to develop and regulate financial products, services, and institutions within India’s IFSCs, with the goal of making GIFT City a globally competitive financial hub. The authority plays a crucial role in:

  • Promoting ease of doing business
  • Ensuring regulatory clarity
  • Enabling cross-border capital flows
  • Encouraging innovation in fintech and financial instruments

As Chief General Manager, Gyan Chand Jain will be instrumental in implementing this mission, leveraging his administrative expertise and background in tax and regulatory frameworks.

A Key Appointment at a Strategic Time

This appointment comes at a time when GIFT City’s IFSC is rapidly emerging as a preferred destination for offshore banking, fund management, aircraft leasing, and fintech operations. Jain’s leadership at the CGM level is expected to contribute to the Authority’s regulatory robustness and global outreach strategy.

His background in customs and indirect taxation will be valuable in enhancing the financial architecture supporting cross-border transactions and international trade facilitation within IFSCs.
