Doing Business
in India - An Overview
Foreign
Institutional Investors
Foreign
Institutional Investors (FIIs) including institutions such as Pension
Funds, Mutual Funds, Investment Trusts, Asset Management Companies,
Nominee Companies and Incorporated/Institutional Portfolio Managers
or their Power of Attorney holders (providing discretionary and
non-discretionary portfolio management services) are welcome to
make investments under specified guidelines. FIIs are required to
obtain an initial registration with Securities and Exchange Board
of India (SEBI), the nodal regulatory agency for securities markets,
before any investment is made by them in the securities of companies
listed on the Stock Exchanges in India. Nominee companies, affiliates
and subsidiary companies of a FII will be treated as separate FIIs
for registration and may seek separate registration with SEBI
