SEBI Eases Market Rules to Boost Capital Market
SEBI, India's market regulator, has made some changes to the rules to make it easier for companies to raise money and for investors to invest.
This includes easier rules for initial public offerings (IPOs), which should encourage more companies to sell shares.
They've also made the rules more investor-friendly for mutual funds, to encourage participation and help diversify portfolios.
These moves come at a crucial time, aiming to support the capital market and keep things moving smoothly.
SEBI has eased mandates for initial public offerings (IPOs).
Anchor investor quotas in IPOs have been increased.
The exit-load cap for mutual funds is reduced to 3% from 5%.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are now classified as equity.
The changes aim to support the capital market in India.
