The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) announced a proposal to permit investment advisers and research analysts to utilize liquid mutual fund units to fulfill their deposit obligations.
This initiative comes in response to the difficulties advisers face with the current system of bank-held deposits, including inconsistent procedures and delays.
To address these issues, Sebi suggests marking a lien on mutual fund units, providing a more flexible and risk-averse solution for industry professionals.
