The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is asking for public feedback on its proposal to update the rules for Accredited Investors. This change would allow more people to invest in alternative products by considering their securities-market assets as a factor in determining eligibility. If implemented, it could make it easier for nearly 400,000 more people to access these investments, potentially boosting the market for alternative products.
