What happened

SEBI, India's market regulator, has released a consultation paper to review the Accredited Investor framework. A consultation paper means SEBI is asking the public to share opinions before finalising any rule change. The current framework defines which investors qualify for access to certain advanced investment products.

Why it matters

The Accredited Investor framework sets the wealth or income bar a person must cross to invest in certain higher-risk financial products. Reviewing this framework could change who qualifies, which products they can access, and what investor protections apply to them.
