How To Use This Docket
This docket has been prepared as a practical compliance manual to help mutual fund professionals answer one simple question:
"Can a Mutual Fund do this?"
without searching across hundreds of regulations, SEBI circulars and operational guidelines.
Every chapter follows a consistent format:
Brief Explanation → ✔ CAN DO → ✘ CANNOT DO → Practical Implications → Exact Regulatory Reference
The objective is to provide a single reference document covering the operational, investment and compliance framework governing mutual funds in India.
All monetary limits, investment ceilings, disclosure requirements and reporting timelines have been reproduced based on the applicable regulations and circulars available up to July 2026.
Since mutual fund regulations evolve frequently through SEBI circulars and Master Circular updates, users should always verify the latest regulatory position before relying upon any provision in a professional opinion or client advisory.
These reference tables enable professionals to quickly identify the exact legal authority supporting every compliance requirement discussed within the docket.
For the purpose of this publication, the expression "Mutual Fund" includes Mutual Funds, Asset Management Companies (AMCs), Trustees, Sponsors, Mutual Fund Schemes, Fund Managers and other regulated persons wherever the applicable regulatory framework extends.
Golden Rule for Compliance Teams
If a compliance issue is not addressed in this docket—
Do not assume. Do not rely on memory. Do not provide verbal guidance.
Instead—
• Check the applicable Regulation.
• Verify the latest SEBI Master Circular.
• Review the relevant AMFI Circular, wherever applicable.
• Confirm whether any subsequent SEBI circular has modified the position.
• Escalate complex issues before communicating a compliance opinion.
Every compliance opinion should be traceable to an identifiable regulatory source.
