Sebi simplifies norms for FPIs in government bonds
SEBI just rolled out new rules to simplify things for foreign investors who put money only in Indian government bonds (GS-FPIs).
This is part of India's push to join global bond indices and bring in more international funds by cutting down on red tape.
TL;DR
What the new rules say
With these changes, GS-FPIs now face fewer KYC checks and less paperwork—plus, NRIs and resident Indians can join without the old restrictions (though some remittance limits stay).
Investors also get more time—30 days instead of 7—to report any big changes.
All this could mean more global money flowing into India's bond market, which has already seen a huge jump lately.
