SEBI removes investor group details for G-Secs-only foreign investors
The change follows an RBI decision in June 2026 that withdrew concentration-limit requirements for G-Secs-only FPIs via the general route.
India’s market regulator, SEBI, has eased regulatory compliance for foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) that invest only in government securities, or G-Secs.
In a circular dated 7 September, SEBI said FPIs investing exclusively in government securities will no longer be required to furnish investor group details, reducing the administrative burden for G-Sec-only investors.
The update builds on an RBI circular dated 5 June 2026 that removed the concentration limit requirement for such FPIs investing via the general route, making investor group identification unnecessary.
SEBI said depositories, custodians, and designated depository participants must update their systems to implement the change, which took effect immediately.
