SEBI Announces Revised Portfolio Management Regulations Effective April 2027
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has notified new Portfolio Management Services (PMS) regulations effective April 1, 2027, replacing the 2020 framework. The updated rules introduce separate net-worth requirements for regular portfolio managers and those exclusively offering the Portfolio Managers Route for Investing in Mutual Fund units (PRIM). The framework broadens investment options to include IPOs, primary market debt, foreign securities, unlisted securities, and exchange-traded derivatives. PRIM allows investments in direct mutual fund plans with lower minimum investment thresholds. Compliance timelines and disclosure requirements are also specified.
