The market regulator on Friday simplified the accreditation process for investors for alternative investment funds

Markets regulator Sebi on Friday overhauled the framework for dealing with technical glitches in stock brokers' electronic trading systems, easing compliance norms, rationalising financial disincentives and excluding smaller brokers from the ambit of the rules. Under the revised framework, glitches occurring beyond a broker's control will no longer be covered. The move is aimed at improving ease of compliance and facilitating ease of doing business for market intermediaries. In its statement, Sebi said it has streamlined the eligibility criteria to exempt smaller brokers with limited business scale and lower dependence on technology. The framework will now apply only to brokers with more than 10,000 registered clients, a change that will take around 60 per cent of brokers out of the regime and significantly reduce their compliance burden. Further, glitches that originate outside a broker's trading architecture, do not directly affect trading functionality or have negligible impact

Markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday extended the timeline till March 1 for the implementation of an additional incentives structure for mutual fund distributors for onboarding new individual investors from B-30 cities and new women investors from any city. Earlier, the new incentive structure, aimed at promoting wider outreach and awareness, was scheduled to be effective from February 1, 2026.

Based on the feedback received from the industry, citing operational difficulties in putting in place the requisite systems and processes for smooth implementation of the additional incentive structure, Sebi has decided to extend the implementation timeline. Accordingly, the new provisions will now come into effect from March 1, 2026, Sebi said in its circular. Under the new framework, asset management companies (AMCs) will pay these distributors 1 per cent of the first lump-sum
