MASTER PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMPLIANCE DOCKET 2026

Managing a SEBI-registered Portfolio Management Services (PMS) business requires far more than investment expertise. Firms must comply with extensive regulatory requirements covering registration, client onboarding, minimum investment norms, custody, valuation, performance reporting, advertisement rules, AML/PMLA, cyber security, governance, inspections and ongoing reporting. The Master Portfolio Manager Compliance Docket 2026 consolidates these requirements into a practical, regulation-wise reference manual, enabling portfolio managers, compliance officers, auditors and operations teams to quickly determine what is permitted, what is prohibited, and the exact SEBI regulation or circular supporting every compliance obligation. Download the complete docket for a comprehensive operational and regulatory guide to PMS compliance in India.

How To Use This Docket

This docket has been prepared as a practical compliance manual to help compliance teams, operational staff, portfolio managers and senior management answer one simple question:

"Can a Portfolio Manager do this?"

without having to search across multiple SEBI regulations, Master Circulars, operational guidelines, circulars, FAQs and regulatory updates.

Every chapter follows a consistent format:

Brief Explanation → ✔ DO → ✘ DON'T → Practical Implications → Exact Regulatory Reference

The objective is to eliminate ambiguity by bringing together the regulatory requirements applicable to SEBI Registered Portfolio Managers in one structured reference document.

All monetary limits, timelines, reporting obligations, disclosure requirements and operational requirements have been reproduced based on the applicable regulations, SEBI Master Circulars and circulars available up to July 2026.

Since Portfolio Manager regulations are frequently updated through SEBI regulations, Master Circulars and implementation circulars, users should always verify the latest regulatory position before relying upon any provision while issuing a professional opinion, responding to a regulatory query or advising a client.
