Extension of timeline for implementation of additional incentives structure for distributors for onboarding new individual investors from B-30 cities and women investors

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has extended the implementation date for an additional incentive structure for mutual fund distributors from February 1, 2026, to March 1, 2026. This adjustment addresses operational difficulties cited by the industry in establishing the necessary systems to incentivize the onboarding of new individual investors from B-30 cities and new women investors. All other provisions of the original November 27, 2025 circular remain unchanged.
