SEBI Drops Investor Group Disclosure for FPIs in G-Secs
· Business · Economic Times, Zee News
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has removed the requirement for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) investing exclusively in government securities to disclose their investor group details. The change follows an RBI circular on June 5, 2026, that abolished concentration limits for such investments. Effective immediately, this update streamlines compliance for FPIs, allowing them to bypass investor group identification. Depositories, custodians, and designated depository participants have been directed to update their systems accordingly. The move aims to simplify investment processes for FPIs focusing solely on G-Secs.
Why it matters
This easing of rules benefits foreign investors by reducing regulatory burdens, potentially increasing liquidity and participation in India’s government securities market. It also aligns with RBI’s broader efforts to attract and retain foreign capital in domestic bonds, which could impact yield dynamics and borrowing costs for the government.
