thebalanced.newsSebi Proposes Expanding Intraday Borrowing Rules for Mutual Funds, Defers Implementation to July
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has proposed expanding intraday borrowing facilities for mutual funds beyond redemption payouts to include trade settlements, forex obligations, derivative margin payments, and other cash management needs. This move aims to address timing mismatches between outflows and receivables faced by asset management companies. Sebi also plans to remove restrictions linking borrowings to guaranteed receivables, allowing temporary borrowings exceeding expected inflows if repaid by day-end. Implementation of these guidelines has been deferred to July 15, 2026, following industry feedback.
