SEBI Expands Vault Manager Regulations to Cover Gold and Silver ETFs and Bullion Derivatives
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has expanded its Vault Managers Regulations to include gold and silver ETFs and bullion derivatives, aiming to unify standards across bullion-related instruments. The updated rules raise the net worth requirement for vault managers to Rs 75 crore and introduce broader security, segregation, insurance, and governance measures. This product-neutral framework replaces earlier rules specific to electronic gold receipts, enhancing oversight of bullion storage and safekeeping for ETFs and derivatives.
