MeridStreet AI summarySEBI, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, has made a change that will help foreign investors do business in the country more easily. Now, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) can use digital signatures on important documents, called Power of Attorney, which are required for investing in India.
