SEBI Eases Compliance for Foreign Investors in Government Securities
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has eased regulatory compliance for foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) investing exclusively in government securities by removing the requirement to furnish investor group details. This change follows the Reserve Bank of India's decision to withdraw concentration limits for such investments under the General Route. The relaxation aims to simplify the investment process and broaden access for overseas investors in Indian government debt. The new rules take effect immediately, with depositories and custodians updating their systems accordingly.
