The Bank of Mauritius has amended the Banking (Processing and Licence Fees) Regulations 2007 to update fee structures for banks, foreign exchange dealers, and money changers. The amendments introduce pro-rated fixed fees for newly approved additional places of business, capping these charges at Rs 1 million for banks and Rs 500,000 for foreign exchange dealers and money changers. A revised Schedule replaces the previous schedule to specify exact processing and fixed fees across all licence categories alongside a new formula for non-bank deposit-taking institutions, with the regulations taking effect on 1 July 2009.
