Markets regulator Sebi has mandated a minimum ticket size or investment threshold of Rs 1 crore for the RBI-regulated originators and unregulated entities engaged in securitisation activities. Securitised Debt Instruments (SDIs) are financial products created by pooling together various types of debt -- such as loans, mortgages, or receivables -- and then selling them as securities to investors. This process, known as securitisation, allows the originator (such as a bank) to convert illiquid assets into liquid ones, providing an alternative source of funding. Investors in these instruments receive returns based on the performance of the underlying debt pool, and the risk is spread across multiple assets, offering potentially attractive returns. "The minimum ticket size for issuance of a securitised debt instrument shall be rupees one crore," Sebi said in a gazette notification. Further, the minimum ticket size for subsequent transfers of a securitised debt instrument will be Rs 1 .
