Capital market regulator SEBI has postponed implementation of the clause restricting transactions of less than ₹25 crores in passive funds to stock exchanges. In order to enhance liquidity in units of ETFs on the stock exchange platform, SEBI had earlier decided that direct transactions in ETFs with AMCs shall be facilitated for investors only for transactions above a specified threshold. In this regard, to begin with, any order placed for redemption or subscription directly with the AMC must be greater than ₹25 crore. This new norm, which was supposed to be effective July 1, was deferred to November 1 and now, May 2023.
