India is one of fastest-growing economies in the world. India’s attractiveness has resulted in an inflow of foreign investments in India. To attract foreign investments, India has liberalized several laws to ease doing business in India. One such move by the Indian Government has been to curb the mis-selling of Alternate Investment Funds (AIF) to make them investment friendly. The Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) which is the securities market regulator has issued circulars time and again in furtherance to amendments in the SEBI (Alternate Investment Fund) Regulations, 2012 (SEBI (AIF) Regulations, 2012)[1]. The purpose of the new AIF Regulations is to safeguard investor’s interests. The new AIF Regulations have been framed to bring more clarity, transparency and accountability to the start-up culture in India. All these frequent changes in the new AIF Regulations are only to ease the business of start-up stakeholders in India. This blog discusses the impact of new AIF Regulations introduced by SEBI.

SEBI issued another circular dated 9th December 2022 regarding the manner of issue of funds from foreign investors. The circular prescribes that at the time of on-boarding foreign investors, the manager must ensure the following:
The positive impact of the new AIF Regulations is that it will ensure the investors do not fall within the grey list. However, the negative impact of this would be that the grey list is updated thrice every year so it will create uncertainty among the fund managers when it comes to complying with these new AIF Regulations and will restrict their flexibility.
These amendments in the AIFs Regulations and issuance of new Circulars are attempts made by SEBI to promote the growth of the AIF Industry while also maintaining adequate regulatory oversight. These regulations also intend to protect the interest of the investors. Therefore, the impact of new AIF Regulations is expected to be mostly positive.
