SEBI Extends Compliance Timeline for ODI and Segregated FPI Disclosures

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the capital markets regulator, has announced an extension of the compliance timelines for certain disclosure requirements related to Overseas Derivative Instruments (ODI) and segregated Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI). This move by SEBI is intended to provide Foreign Portfolio Investors with additional time to meet the enhanced disclosure norms, thereby easing the immediate compliance burden on these entities. The extension reflects SEBI's responsiveness to feedback from the market participants and its aim to ensure a smooth transition to the new disclosure regime without causing undue disruption to foreign investment flows.
