Circulars SEBI
October 28, 2024
This circular amends certain provisions related to compliance requirements for non-individual investment advisers. Firstly, it allows non-individual investment advisers to obtain an annual compliance certificate from any auditor, instead of a statutory auditor, confirming adherence to client-level segregation norms mandated by Regulation 22 of the Investment Advisers Regulations. Secondly, it grants a 30-day period from the end of each half-yearly reporting period for investment advisers to submit periodic reports to the Investment Adviser Administration and Supervisory Body. The circular cites ease of doing business and recommendations of a working group as rationales for these amendments. It directs the supervisory body to notify advisers and update relevant regulations accordingly, invoking SEBI's powers under the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act and Investment Advisers Regulations.
