Sebi eases FPI onboarding with digital power of attorney
SEBI has permitted Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) to use digital signatures for Power of Attorney documents, removing the requirement for notarisation and apostillisation. This regulatory reform aims to simplify and accelerate the onboarding process for foreign investors, reducing procedural delays and compliance costs. The move is expected to enhance capital inflows by making India's capital markets more accessible and investor-friendly. For competitive exams, this highlights SEBI's role in easing foreign investment norms and improving ease of doing business in financial markets.
