SEBI Expands Intraday Borrowing Facility for Mutual Funds from September 1, 2026
From September 1, 2026, SEBI will allow mutual funds to use intraday borrowing for a wider range of liquidity management needs beyond unitholder payouts. This includes pay-ins for investments, mark-to-market obligations, foreign exchange settlements, and repayment of existing borrowings. Borrowings can be backed by guaranteed receivables like RBI inflows and clearing corporation funds, as well as expected non-guaranteed receivables. Asset management companies are responsible for ensuring borrowings are repaid by day-end under the revised framework.
