SEBI to review FPI onboarding compliance norms
In short
SEBI said progress has been made on making FPI onboarding faster and that it will issue a paper on compliance norms. The chairman also said Indian rules are strict, and self-listing norms are not being reviewed.
This matters for foreign portfolio investors because onboarding can be slowed by compliance checks. The report does not say which rules may change or when the paper will come out.
