SEBI Proposes Allowing Depositories to Use Part of IPF Income for Administrative Expenses

Sebi has proposed allowing depositories like NSDL and CDSL to use up to 5% of the interest or income earned from their Investor Protection Fund (IPF) investments to cover administrative and operational expenses related to their IPF trusts. This aligns depositories' treatment with stock exchanges, which already have this provision. Expenses exceeding the 5% limit would be borne by the depositories, and any unutilized amount must be returned to the IPF corpus at year-end.
