SEBI has issued a circular (SEBI/HO/MIRSD/MIRSD-PoD-2/P/CIR/2024/38) outlining the requirements for investment advisers (IAs) regarding periodic reporting. This circular mandates that IAs must furnish information and reports to SEBI as specified by regulations. In collaboration with the Investment Advisers Administration and Supervisory Body (IAASB), a standardized format for periodic reporting has been developed. The circular specifies the frequency of reporting as half-yearly, ending on September 30 and March 31 of each financial year. The timelines for submission of reports are outlined, with the first report due within fifteen days of the circular's issuance and subsequent reports due within seven working days from the end of the reporting period. The circular is effective immediately and is issued under SEBI's regulatory authority to ensure investor protection and market development.
