SEBI updates FPI FVCI registration fee from $2,500 to ₹2.3L

Business Jul 08, 2026

SEBI just switched up the rules for Category-I Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) and Foreign Venture Capital Investors (FVCIs).
Instead of paying $2,500 to register, they will now pay ₹230,000, making things a bit more local.
This update kicks in after six months.

Registration forms require DOB for PAN

The registration form will ask for your date of birth or incorporation to help with PAN allotment after the revised provisions come into effect (six months from July 3, 2026).
Plus, the folks handling your paperwork (called DDPs) will be required to remit fees within five working days from the date of grant of certificate of registration.
Overall, these tweaks are meant to make compliance smoother and keep everything running on time.
