Sebi Introduces 30-Day Fast-Track Mechanism for Launching AIF Schemes

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has introduced a fast-track mechanism allowing Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), excluding large value funds for accredited investors, to launch schemes and circulate private placement memorandums (PPMs) 30 days after filing applications, unless otherwise advised. This change aims to reduce delays, improve ease of doing business, and accelerate capital deployment. First-time schemes can launch after Sebi registration or the 30-day period, whichever is later. Sebi retains oversight through mandatory incorporation of regulatory comments and requires the first close within 12 months.
