This circular from SEBI modifies the Common Application Form (CAF) for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) based in International Financial Services Centres (IFSCs) in India. It allows up to 100% aggregate contribution by NRIs, OCIs, and RIs in the corpus of such FPIs, subject to certain conditions. The key points are: 1) A new option is added in the CAF allowing FPIs to confirm that aggregate NRI/OCI/RI contributions exceed 50% of the corpus, while ensuring compliance with regulations. 2) FPIs must provide details of NRI/OCI/RI constituents, their ownership/economic interest, PAN copies or acceptable alternative documents. 3) For non-individual constituents controlled by NRIs/OCIs/RIs or where they hold 50%+ ownership/economic interest, similar details must be provided. 4) Where PAN is unavailable, specific documents like passport copies, OCI cards, government IDs must be submitted along with declarations. 5) The circular is applicable immediately, and depositories must update their CAF modules accordingly. 6) It aims to protect investors and promote securities market development under SEBI Act and FPI Regulations.
