SEBI Consultation Paper Dated 08/08/2025 – Easier Foreign Portfolio Investor (FPI) Rules to Boost Indian Participation 

The paper outlines three main proposals. It proposes allowing retail schemes based in International Financial Services Centres (IFSCs) that have resident Indian non- individuals as sponsors or managers to register as FPIs. It also proposes to align the contribution limits for resident Indian non-individuals in IFSC- based funds with the IFSCA’s new regulations. This would increase the maximum contribution limit for these sponsors or managers to 10% of the fund’s corpus, up from the current 2.5% to 5% range, to avoid compliance issues. Further. it suggests permitting Indian mutual funds to be constituents of overseas mutual funds or unit trusts that are registered as FPIs. The feedback/ comments from stakeholders are invited.
