SEBI Plans Fixed Income Framework

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is planning to create rules for companies that sell fixed income products, like bonds.

This is because some companies are selling these products without proper rules, which can be risky for investors.

SEBI wants to make sure that only qualified companies can sell these products and that they follow strict advertising rules.

There will be two types of companies that can sell these products: those that are already regulated, like banks and brokers, and those that pass a special test.

These companies will help people buy bonds through online platforms.

SEBI hopes this will make it safer and easier for regular people to invest in bonds.

SEBI is also reviewing other rules related to mutual funds, stockbrokers, and initial public offerings (IPOs) to make investing easier and safer for everyone.
