SEBI Revises FPI Fee Structure to Rupee Denomination, Updates Registration Rules
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has amended Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI) and Foreign Venture Capital Investors (FVCI) regulations to replace the US dollar-denominated registration fees with a rupee-based structure. The revised fees, including registration, late, and continuance charges, will take effect after six months. Designated Depository Participants must remit fees to SEBI within five working days of registration. The common application form now requires the applicant's date of birth or incorporation to facilitate PAN allotment, aligning with Central Board of Direct Taxes guidelines.
