What happened
SEBI has extended the deadline for enrolling with PaRRVA. PaRRVA stands for Passive Risk and Return Verification Agency — a system to assess investment risk for investors. The original deadline was set in an April 2026 circular, and this new circular pushes that deadline further.
Why it matters
The source content does not mention the new extended deadline date or the specific entities required to enroll. This makes it difficult to explain the full impact clearly. SEBI periodically extends timelines to give financial intermediaries — that is, brokers, mutual fund distributors, and advisors — more time to comply with new rules.
