SEBI:
SEBI vide Circular dated June 29, 2016, has allowed foreign portfolio investors who had issued participatory notes under the former regulations to hold the position till the date of expiry of such positions or till end of December 2020. It further clarified on grandfathering of participatory note issuers who didn’t meet the criteria under the SEBI (Foreign Portfolio Investor) Regulations, 2014, specially unregulated funds whose investment manager is well regulated. However, participatory notes subscribers cannot take fresh positions or renew the old positions. This clarification is only a consequence of the recent changes on KYC rules which are applicable to ODI issuers and ODI holders from July 1. Earlier, offshore investors who took exposure to Indian securities under FII Regulations by subscribing to ODIs were permitted to continue to subscribe ODIs under the FPI Regulations that replaced FII Regulations in 2014. However, this will not be permissible from August 1. Also, Dec 31, 2020 is sufficient time for such ODI holders to decide whether to comply with new KYC norms or wind up their positions.
