Under the current framework, mutual fund investments must originate from the investor’s own bank account through RBI authorised payment aggregators or SEBI recognised clearing corporations. SEBI proposes permitting employer sponsored investments through payroll deductions for employees of listed and EPFO registered companies, and payment of commissions to empanelled mutual fund distributors in the form of mutual fund units. It also proposed enabling donations or contributions towards social causes through mutual funds, including investments in Zero Coupon Zero Principal instruments of Not-for-Profit Organisations registered on the Social Stock Exchange. The feedback/comments from stakeholders are invited.
