RBI Proposes Demat-Only Securitisation Notes with Rs 1 Crore Minimum Investment
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed draft amendments requiring all securitisation notes issued by commercial banks, small finance banks, NBFCs, and financial institutions to be issued, held, and transferred only in dematerialised (demat) form. The RBI also retained the minimum investment size at Rs 1 crore for both initial issuance and subsequent transfers. The draft includes a clause for agreements between originators and special purpose entities to ensure ongoing compliance with this investment threshold. Public comments are invited until August 27, 2026, with changes effective from October 1, 2026. The RBI aims to align its rules with SEBI regulations on securitised debt instruments.
