The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has announced a relaxation of 'skin in the game' rules for mutual fund employees, effective April 1, 2025. This change is aimed at easing compliance burdens. Additionally, SEBI is considering raising the investment threshold for long-only investors from ₹25,000 crore to ₹50,000 crore, with consultations currently underway. A decision on this matter is expected at the next board meeting. The regulatory body is also reportedly looking at adjustments to intraday gross limits in index options, although it is unlikely to meet international demands regarding end-of-day limits. Concerns have been raised about potential abuses of SEBI's directives on compensation structures by algorithmic trading vendors. SEBI's new leadership under Tuhin Kanta Pandey is set to address conflict-of-interest rules in its first meeting, with the foreign portfolio investor (FPI) threshold and other regulatory matters on the agenda.
