The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has implemented new regulations on insider trading, which require Asset Management Companies (AMCs) to disclose the holdings of 'Designated Persons,' trustees, and their immediate relatives on a quarterly basis, starting from November 1.
These disclosures must be submitted by AMCs within 10 days after the end of each quarter, following a specific format provided by the regulator.
In addition, AMCs are obligated to report any transactions involving their mutual funds that exceed Rs 15 lakh, carried out by designated employees and their immediate relatives, to the company's Compliance Officer within two working days.
Sebi has also issued an annexure format for recording these transactions, aiming to enhance transparency and accountability in the mutual fund sector.
