Regulatory policy shifts

RBI and SEBI unveil rule changes that could reshape foreign investment and securities certification.

The RBI released a draft framework for future foreign investment rules, signalling a possible liberalisation of inbound capital flows. SEBI simplified certification norms for SIF distributors by introducing a single NISM qualification, easing compliance for market participants. Additionally, the RBI notified implementation of new sanctions under Section 51A of UAPA, affecting banks and NBFCs that deal with listed entities on the updated Taliban sanctions list.
