SEBI eases norms for FIIs to re-invest half of investments in debt holdings

08 Nov 2012 Evaluate

Giving some relief to the foreign institutional investors (FII), the market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has eased the norms to re-invest half of their investments in debt holdings to the next calendar year, starting from January 2014.

SEBI had earlier provided the facility of re-investment up to two years or to the extent of twice the size of debt portfolio, to those FIIs and sub accounts that had already acquired and/ or invested in debt in the manner prescribed. With the latest decision the FII’s will get operational flexibility as once the relaxation is in place, FIIs and their sub-accounts can re-invest 50 per cent of their debt holdings.

The regulator has further said that the utilisation period for government securities and corporate debt limits, allocated through bidding process shall be 30 days and 60 days, respectively and this would be applicable for both old-and long-term infrastructure limits.

Further, SEBI has relaxed the investment limits for FIIs regarding corporate debt in the long-term infrastructure category without obtaining SEBI approval till the overall FII investments reaches 90 per cent of the limit after which the auction mechanism would be initiated for allocation of remaining limits and SEBI would be putting in place a mechanism to monitor the utilisation of the limit.
