Sebi Introduces GARUDA Framework to Expedite Alternative Investment Fund Scheme Launches
Sebi has introduced the GARUDA operational framework to expedite the launch of Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) schemes by simplifying regulatory procedures. Under this framework, regular AIF schemes can launch 10 working days after filing the Placement Memorandum (PPM) through a registered merchant banker, while first-time schemes can launch after registration or the 10-day period, whichever is later. Accredited Investor-only funds, Large Value Funds, and Angel Funds are exempt from merchant banker filing and can launch immediately upon PPM submission. Merchant bankers must independently verify disclosures in PPMs and certify their accuracy.
