What is the fixing and reset process?

In short: Fixing captures the number, and Reset puts that number to work in the contract.

 Fixing: The official, recorded determination of a reference rate (for swaps) or a reference exchange rate (for NDFs) on a specific, pre-agreed date, sourced from a recognised benchmark administrator.

Reset: The process of applying the fixed value to the contract — updating the floating rate for the next accrual period in a swap, or determining the final settlement amount in an NDF.

Reference Rate Determination

The rate used in a swap is never picked randomly. It comes from a trusted body that follows a clear, fixed method. Some common reference rates used in the Indian market are:

These rates are worked out either by asking a group of banks what rate they are using, or by looking at the actual trades done that day. The rate is then published at the same fixed time every working day, so that every market participant is using the same number.
