Sebi eases compliance norms for FPIs investing only in government securities
SEBI has relaxed compliance norms for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) that invest exclusively in government securities, eliminating the requirement to disclose investor group details. This change aligns with the RBI's earlier decision to remove concentration limits for such FPIs under the General Route. The move aims to simplify investment processes and attract more foreign capital into Indian government bonds. It is significant for exams as it reflects coordination between SEBI and RBI in liberalizing debt market access.
