Sebi mulls allowing gift cards, prepaid instruments to invest in MFs

Markets regulator Sebi on Tuesday proposed introducing gift cards or gift prepaid payment instruments (PPIs) for investments in mutual funds to improve financial inclusion through onboarding of new investors in the space. Under the proposal, the purchaser of Gift PPI can gift the prepaid payment instrument to a recipient, who can then use the instrument to subscribe to mutual fund units, Sebi said in its consultation paper. These PPIs will be funded only through electronic bank transfer or UPI from an Indian bank account with a validity period of one year from date of issuance. Sebi suggested a cap of Rs 50,000 per investor per financial year for investments made through gift PPIs. "The RTAs, on behalf of AMCs will track how much each investor has invested per AMC per financial year through Gift PPI, e-wallets and cash. If the transaction resulting from a Gift PPI redemption crosses Rs 50,000, the RTA will reject the transaction, and the PPI face value will be refunded to the issue

HDFC Bank: Sebi chief says independent directors must act responsibly

Days after the surprise resignation of HDFC Bank non-executive chairman Atanu Chakraborty, capital markets regulator Sebi's chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Monday said independent directors are expected to act responsibly and not make any insinuations. In the comments that come in response to the executive chairman leaving the largest private sector lender, citing concerns on ethics and values, Pandey reminded of the responsibilities of independent directors like Chakraborty. It can be noted that the resignation had led to a sharp correction in the HDFC Bank scrip, as investors became concerned. The independent directors are required to be protectors of the interests of minority shareholders and should act "responsibly", Pandey told reporters here. "No one is expected to make insinuations without proper evidence and recordings," Pandey told reporters in the customary post-board meet interaction. Reading out from statutes, he said there is a system in place to deal with independent
