Sebi cancels registration of 15 investment advisers, 25 research analysts

Capital markets regulator Sebi on Friday cancelled the registration certificates of 15 investment advisers after they failed to pay the mandatory renewal fees. Under the Sebi (Investment Advisers) Regulations, 2013, registered investment advisers are required to pay a renewal fee every five years to keep their registration valid. Sebi found that the 15 advisers had failed to pay the renewal fees within the stipulated period. The regulator issued notices to these entities in June, asking them to explain why their registrations should not be suspended or cancelled. However, no replies were received within the prescribed time. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said the registrations had ceased to remain in force due to non-payment of renewal fees and, therefore, cancelled their certificates with immediate effect. The regulator clarified that cancellation of registration does not absolve the entities of liabilities arising from their past activities as registered ...

Sebi permits IFSCA-regulated entities to access KRA records for KYC

Markets regulator Sebi on Thursday allowed entities regulated by the IFSCA to access the systems of registered KYC registration agencies, facilitating seamless sharing of client information for financial services. The markets watchdog said the step will enable interoperability and facilitate sharing of information between Sebi-registered KRAs and entities regulated by IFSCA. Under the move, the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) regulated entities can access KYC Registration Agencies (KRAs) records for carrying out KYC of clients who engage them for financial services, Sebi said. A KYC Registration Agency (KRA) is an agency that maintains investors' KYC (Know Your Customer) records. KYC is the process through which financial institutions verify the identity and other required details of their clients. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has included IFSCA-regulated entities under Regulation 16A(1) of the KYC Registration Agency Regulations, 201
