FAQ :
The circular concerns the processing of applications for the registration of Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) and the launch of new schemes.
SEBI regulations have been amended to allow AIF Managers to constitute an Investment Committee to approve investment decisions, subject to certain conditions.
Applications where the Investment Committee includes external members who are resident Indian citizens will be duly processed.
These applications will only be considered after SEBI receives clarification regarding the applicability of Schedule VIII under FEM (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019.
The amendment to the AIF Regulations was notified on October 19, 2020, and is available via a provided link.
